Mosques

Mangalore, a coastal city in Karnataka, is home to a significant Muslim population with a rich Islamic heritage. The mapped data reveals a network of 20 listed prayer places within a 50 km radius, concentrated in the city and extending into neighbouring towns and villages. The Ullal area, located about 10-12 km from Mangalore city centre, emerges as a key hub with several prominent mosques, including Ullal Juma Masjid, Juma Masjid (Masjid Al-Kareem), Madani nagar masjid, Dargah Hazrath Shuhada RA Kadapara Jara Masjid, and Masjid Tauheed (Salafi Masjid). This coastal locality, known for its historic dargah, offers a dense cluster of prayer facilities for residents and visitors alike.

Within Mangalore city proper, the Bolar area hosts a Jumma Masjid, providing a central place for worship. The Deralakatte suburb, about 12-13 km from the city centre, features Badriya Jumma Masjid and Yenepoya Masjid, serving the growing community around the educational and medical institutions there. Further afield, the Puttur region (around 35-45 km east) shows a notable presence of mosques such as Juma Masjid Kallega, Muhyuddin Jumma Masjid Sampya, Peer Mohalla Jumma masjid, Bannur Masjid, Muhiyuddeen Jumma Masjid Parladka, Badriya Juma Masjid Mata, and Muhiyadeen Juma Masjid Kabaka, indicating a well-established Muslim community in this rural area. Additionally, the Kumbol area near the Kerala border includes Kumbol Thangal Masjid and Kumbol Juma Masjid, while Thuruthi Muhiyudheen Juma Masjid serves the Kasaragod region.

Other listed prayer places include Badriya Jumma Masjid Thodar along NH169 and Badriya Jumma Masjid Suribail in Bantwal taluk. This distribution shows that mosques and prayer rooms are present not only in Mangalore's urban core but also in the surrounding towns and villages of Ullal, Deralakatte, Puttur, Kumbol, and Kasaragod, making it easier for Muslims living in or visiting these areas to find nearby places for prayer. The listings are based on available mapped records, providing a useful starting point for exploring the local Islamic infrastructure.

When visiting any of these mosques, it is advisable to verify the exact address and distance from your location, as some are located in neighbouring towns like Ullal, Puttur, or Kumbol. Check the provided contact fields if available, and confirm prayer times locally. Note that facilities such as women's sections or parking may vary; it is best to inquire directly with the mosque management.
