Mosques • Machilipatnam

Machilipatnam, a historic port city in Andhra Pradesh, is home to a growing Muslim community that relies on nearby towns and villages for prayer facilities. Within a 50 km radius, the mapped records show 20 listed mosques and prayer places, primarily concentrated in the Gudivada area—about 30 km away—and in Repalle, around 37 km distant. These locations serve as essential spiritual hubs for residents, workers, and travellers in the region, offering a network of places for daily prayers and community gatherings.

The largest cluster of listed prayer places is in Gudivada, particularly in the Satyanarayana Puram and Bethavolu neighbourhoods. Notable mosques here include Miyakhan Masjid, Jamia Masjid, Masjid E Bilal Ahle Hadees, Masjid e Quba Ahle Hadith, and Shahi masjid, all located along or near the Gudivada Bypass Road. Other Gudivada mosques such as Noor Masjid (Noor Mosque) in Naizam peta, Mohammad Masjid (مسجدِ محمد) in Karmikanagar, and Masjid e Taiba in Billapadu further extend the prayer-place presence across different sectors of the town. In Repalle, listed mosques include Markaz Masjid, Jamia Masjid, Madina Masjid, and Makka majsid, with addresses on Azad Vari Street and the Repalle to Karumuru Road. Additionally, the Siddhantam area features Hazrat Sayyad Salarsha Avulia Khadari Dargah and Shahi makka masjid in Mallayapalem Old, highlighting the spread of Islamic sites beyond the main towns.

For Muslims in Machilipatnam, these mapped records indicate that the nearest prayer places are located in neighbouring towns rather than within the city itself. The listings show a strong implantation of mosques in Gudivada and Repalle, with several masjids bearing names like Jamia Masjid, Shahi masjid, and Markaz Masjid, which are common in South Asian Muslim communities. While no specific prayer rooms are listed within Machilipatnam city limits, the available data suggests that the broader region offers a variety of options for congregational prayers, including dargahs and masjids affiliated with different traditions. This network is particularly useful for new arrivals, students, and families seeking to connect with local Muslim life in the Krishna district.

All listed mosques are based on available mapped records and may not be verified for current operating hours or services.
