The Jama Masjid in Nainital, located in the Mallital area near the Nainital Cricket Stadium and Mall Road, is a historic mosque built in 1865 during the British colonial era. It was originally constructed for Muslim soldiers serving in British military camps around Nainital. The mosque is a fine example of Indo-Islamic and Mughal architecture, featuring a pristine white marble structure with black accents, Arabic inscriptions at the main entrance, and a prominent mihrab (a niche indicating the direction of Mecca). It also has a minaret from which the call to prayer is announced.The mosque was renovated in 1996-97 due to space constraints, as worshippers had to gather on the road during prayers, causing traffic issues. Further reconstruction took place in 2004-05 under the Anjuman Islamia and Raza Club, enhancing its structure. Some sources mention an additional tower added in 2016, though this has raised questions about permissions and oversight, as noted in a 2024 report. The mosque remains a significant cultural and religious landmark, attracting devotees and tourists for its architectural beauty and serene ambiance.Key Features:Location: Mallital, near Naina Devi Temple and Tibetan (Bhotiya) Market; about 3 km from Nainital Bus #bharat #hindustan #india Station.Architecture: White marble with black accents, domes, minarets, and intricate carvings.Historical Significance: Built for British-era Muslim soldiers; renovated in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.Tourist Tips:Best visited early morning or late afternoon for photography and fewer crowds.Dress modestly (cover arms and legs), remove shoes before entering, and seek permission for photography.Avoid visiting during prayer times, especially Friday Juma Namaz (12:00-12:30 PM, Khutba at 12:45 PM), to respect worshippers.Note: Some reviews mention entry restrictions for tourists and occasional maintenance fees (e.g., 300 INR for entry, 100 INR for dress code compliance).Accessibility: Easily reachable by foot, rickshaw, or taxi from Nainital’s main market. The nearest railway station is Kathgodam, 35 km away.Attractions Nearby: Naini Lake for boating, Bhotiya Market for shopping, and Naina Devi Temple.The mosque serves as a symbol of religious harmony in Nainital and is a must-visit for its historical and architectural charm. However, some controversy exists regarding undocumented expansions, as raised by local activists in 2024, with calls for administrative transparency.
