Mosques • Port Blair

Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, is home to a modest but well-distributed Muslim community with over 20 listed prayer places within a 50 km radius. The majority of these mosques are located in the urban core of Sri Vijaya Puram (the official name for Port Blair city), with a few extending to outlying areas such as Garacharama, Calicut, and Malapuram RV. The mapped records show a clear concentration of prayer spaces in neighbourhoods like Phoenix Bay, Aberdeen Bazar, Shadipur, Dollygunj, and Pahargaon, making it convenient for residents and visitors to find a place for daily prayers.

Prominent among the listed mosques is Masjidun Noor, situated on Moulana Azad Road opposite Andaman Tamizhar Sangam in Phoenix Bay, just 1.1 km from the city centre. Other notable mosques include Police Masjid on Supply Lane in Aberdeen Bazar (0.5 km), South Point Mosque in Shadipur (0.8 km), and QURAISHIYA MASJID in Mohanpura (1 km). For those in the Dollygunj area, Aalam-e-Noor Al-Masjid on Poly Road (4.6 km) and Ashraf Masjid in Lamba Line (3.1 km) serve the local community. The southern part of the city is covered by Masjid-E-Usman (Birdline Masjid) in Kamaraj Nagar (6.7 km) and Al-Huda Juma Masjid in Calicut (8.2 km).

Beyond the city centre, the mapped data reveals prayer places in Garacharama (Jama Masjid Garacharma, 7.5 km), Bambooflat (6.1 km), and Mannarghat (Muhiyedeen juma masjid, 12.2 km). A few mosques are located further afield, such as Masjid e Quba in Govind Nagar (48.8 km), indicating that the Muslim presence extends to the island's rural areas. This network of mosques, ranging from small neighbourhood masjids to larger juma masjids, provides essential facilities for the Muslim population of Port Blair, including students, workers, and families. The listings are based on available mapped and verified records, offering a reliable starting point for anyone seeking prayer places in the city.

When visiting any mosque in Port Blair, it is advisable to check the exact address and distance from your location, as some mosques are in outlying areas. Contact details such as phone numbers or websites are not provided in the listings, so it is best to verify prayer times and facilities directly. Many mosques are located in residential areas, so parking may be limited.
