Mosques

Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, is home to a number of historic and active mosques serving its Muslim community. Based on available mapped records, the city and its surrounding areas host over 20 listed prayer places within a 50 km radius. Prominent among them is the historic Jama Masjid located on Imambara Road in Daulatganj, approximately 4.3 km from the city centre, and the Sunni Jama Masjid near Kaiser Bagh, just 1.2 km away. These mosques, along with others like Shahi Masjid in Mahanagar (5.1 km), provide prayer facilities across central Lucknow and its expanding neighbourhoods.

Beyond the city core, the mapped data reveals a significant presence of prayer places in nearby towns and districts. In Barabanki, about 27-30 km east, several mosques are listed including Masjid Gulistan-E-Sher, Masjid-e-Aamna, and Masjid Husaini, primarily located in areas such as Civil Lines, Preet Vihar Colony, and Ghosiyana. Further north, Sandila (around 47-48 km) features multiple mosques like Bada Chauraha Masjid, Jama Masjid, and LAL MASJID, concentrated in the Qila Market and Sahadatganj areas. Other prayer places appear in Nawabganj, Shahab Pur, and Kuthilahar, indicating a widespread implantation of mosques across the region.

For Muslims living in or visiting Lucknow, this network of mosques and prayer rooms offers accessible options for daily prayers and Jumu'ah gatherings. The listed locations span from the historic heart of the city to outlying towns, making it easier for residents, workers, and travellers to find a suitable place for worship. While this data provides a useful starting point, it reflects only currently mapped records, and additional unlisted prayer spaces may exist. Always verify addresses and opening hours directly, especially for smaller or less formal prayer rooms.

When visiting any mosque, confirm the exact address and prayer times, as they may vary. Many listed mosques have contact fields available; use them to verify Jumu'ah timings or special arrangements. For mosques in outlying areas like Barabanki or Sandila, check distances and plan your route accordingly. Note that some locations may be small prayer rooms without separate facilities.
