Mosques

Katihar, located in the northeastern part of Bihar, serves as a regional hub for Muslims seeking prayer facilities. Based on available mapped records, there are 18 listed mosques and prayer rooms within a 50 km radius of the city centre. These are spread across Katihar district and neighbouring areas in Jharkhand and West Bengal, reflecting the presence of Muslim communities in several towns and villages. The listings include notable mosques such as Jama Masjid in Sahibganj and Shobhaganj Jama Masjid in Kabaia, providing options for daily prayers and Jumu'ah.

The mapped data shows that prayer places are concentrated in several areas. In Sahibganj, Jharkhand, about 33–35 km away, multiple mosques are listed, including Habibpur Masjid, Badi Maszid, Chhoti Masjid, Masjid-e-Kuba, and Mustafa masjid. These are located in neighbourhoods such as Ward No. 16, Mazhar Tola Road, Alinagar, and Qulipara ghat road. Further afield, in Ganga Parshad, Mahadeoganj Muslim Tola Masjid is present. In Bihar, Shobhaganj Jama Masjid is in Kabaia (19 km), while Ramnagar Jama Masjid is in Gargata Narharia (45 km), and Jama Masjid Hasanpur is in Hartara (48 km). In West Bengal, Sahebganj Jama Masjid is in Chanchal, Nabagram (47 km), and Beltola Waktiya Masjid is in Altapur (48 km).

For Muslims living in or visiting Katihar, these listings offer a practical guide to finding prayer spaces in the region. While the city itself may have fewer mapped mosques, the surrounding areas—especially Sahibganj—provide multiple options. New arrivals, students, workers, and travellers can use this information to locate mosques in specific sectors like Sahibganj town, Kabaia, or along the Ganga Parshad area. The addresses include street names and landmarks, making it easier to verify locations. As these are based on available records, it is advisable to confirm details directly with local contacts or visit the mosques during prayer times.

Check the address and distance of each mosque before visiting, as many are located in neighbouring towns like Sahibganj (33–35 km) or Kabaia (19 km). Contact fields are not provided, so verify prayer times and facilities by visiting or asking local residents. Some mosques have specific street names (e.g., Mazhar Tola Rd, Qulipara ghat road) to aid navigation.
