Chharidardih Masjid is an active neighbourhood mosque situated within the Chharidardih settlement of Katras, in the Baghmara-cum-Katras region of Dhanbad district, Jharkhand – 828113, India. Chharidardih itself is a small village part of the Baghmara-cum-Katras tehsil with PIN code 828113 and a modest population, which according to the 2011 Census includes about 156 residents living in 35 households; the village enjoys both public and private bus services and proximity to a railway station within ~5 km.  As a mosque (Masjid), Chharidardih Masjid plays a central role in the religious and communal life of local Muslims. It provides a dedicated space for the five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — and is especially significant during the Friday (Jumuʿah) prayer, which draws a larger congregation for group worship and a Khutbah (sermon). The mosque also forms a focal point during the holy month of Ramadan, when Taraweeh (night prayers) are observed in congregation and communal Iftar meals are organised at sunset, fostering shared devotion and fellowship. During the two major Islamic festivals — Eid al-Fitr (marking the end of Ramadan) and Eid al-Adha (the Festival of Sacrifice) — Chharidardih Masjid hosts large congregational Eid prayers, which unite families and neighbours for communal worship and celebration. These events reinforce the mosque’s role not only as a venue for prayer but also as a community centre that supports spiritual learning, social interaction, and cultural continuity in the Chharidardih area. While formal historical details — such as the exact year of establishment or notable architectural features — are not widely documented in published heritage records for this specific mosque, its indication in local mosque listings and consistent use by neighbourhood worshippers underscore its practical importance and active role in everyday religious life.
