Masjid Kamardih is an active neighbourhood mosque located in Kamardi (also spelled Kamardih) village in the Tundi Community Development Block of Dhanbad district, Jharkhand, India – 828109. Kamardi is a village governed by the Kamardih Gram Panchayat, situated approximately 26 km north of the Dhanbad district headquarters and about 8 km from the Tundi tehsil headquarters. According to the 2011 Census, Kamardi had a population of about 1,862 residents, with the village covering an area of around 81 ha; the local postal code for Kamardi is 828109.  As a mosque, Masjid Kamardih provides a focal point for the religious life of the village’s Muslim population. Worshippers gather here for the five compulsory daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — which structure Islamic devotional practice throughout the day. The Friday Jumuʿah prayer is an especially significant weekly event that brings a larger congregation together for collective prayer and a Khutbah (sermon). During the holy month of Ramadan, the mosque becomes more active and spiritually significant, with worshippers performing Taraweeh — additional nightly prayers — after Isha, and participating in communal Iftar gatherings at sunset, fostering a sense of community and shared devotion. On the two major Islamic festivals — Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, and Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice — the mosque hosts large congregational prayers, uniting families, neighbours, and visitors from Kamardi and neighbouring villages. Like many local mosques in rural and semi-urban areas of Jharkhand, precise historical documentation — including the year of establishment or architectural details — is not widely available in formal heritage sources; its significance is mainly sustained through ongoing community use and everyday worship.
