Jamia Masjid Srinagar

Jamia Masjid Srinagar is one of the most historic and spiritually significant mosques in Kashmir. Located in the heart of the old city at Nowhatta, this magnificent mosque is known for its unique Indo-Saracenic architecture and deep connection with the religious life of the people of Srinagar. The mosque was originally built in 1402 by Sultan Sikandar Shah Mir and later expanded by his son Zain-ul-Abidin, who was also known as Budshah. Over the centuries, the mosque has been renovated several times due to damage from fires, but its traditional wooden style has always been preserved. One of the most remarkable features of Jamia Masjid is its impressive courtyard and the 370 beautifully carved wooden pillars made from deodar wood. The mosque also has four grand minarets and a large open courtyard that can accommodate thousands of worshippers at the same time. In the center of the courtyard is a small water fountain used for ablution. The architecture of Jamia Masjid is very different from many other mosques in the world. Instead of large domes, it reflects traditional Kashmiri wooden craftsmanship, with sloping roofs and pagoda-like structures influenced by local culture and climate. Every Friday (Jumma), thousands of Muslims gather here to offer congregational prayers, making the mosque a vibrant center of spiritual life. During the holy month of Ramadan, the mosque becomes even more lively, with worshippers attending prayers, reciting the Quran, and seeking blessings. Jamia Masjid is not only a place of worship but also a symbol of Kashmir’s rich history, culture, and faith. Its peaceful atmosphere and remarkable architecture make it one of the most important religious landmarks in Srinagar.
