This Holy Site is situated by the busy Mangaldas Market (reviewed separately). It stands proudly with its splendid domes and towers amidst the hustle and bustle of the nearby Market.We were in the area to see Crawford Market, we spotted this imposing building at the end of the road, so we walked up to investigate..

The Jama Masjid is a mosque in the Kalbadevi neighborhood, near Crawford Market in the South Mumbai region of Mumbai, India. established1802The Muslim community of Bombay possesses 89 mosques, of which 8 belong to the Bohras, 2 to the Khojas, one to the Mughals and the remainder to the Sunni Muslims.In the eighteenth century, a large tank (water reservoir) was situated at this site in the midst of gardens and open land and belonged to a Konkani Muslim merchant trading in Goa and Calicut, who in about 1775, agreed to the erection of a mosque at this site on condition that the tank was preserved intact.The construction started initially in 1775 with raising of foundations on the tank. Objections were raised by neighbours that delayed construction until 1778. More disputes arose with illegal construction activities to its west and south. Finally the erstwhile governor of Bombay, Sir Meadows Taylor decided in favour of the mosque authorities. The date of its completion (AD 1802)/(AH 1217) is derivable from the chronogram Jahaz-i- Akhirat, The ship of the world to come which contains an allusion to the fact that it was constructed on the tank.A one-story building was therefore erected over the tank and formed the original nucleus of the present Jama Mosque. A top floor was added with the munificence of a prominent konkani merchant Mohammad Ali Roghay in 1814.

In the eighteenth century, a large tank (water reservoir) was situated at this site in the midst of gardens and open land and belonged to a Konkani Muslim merchant trading in Goa and Calicut, who in about 1775, agreed to the erection of a mosque at this site on condition that the tank was preserved intact.The construction started initially in 1775 with raising of foundations on the tank. Objections were raised by neighbours that delayed construction until 1778. More disputes arose with illegal construction activities to its west and south. Finally the erstwhile governor of Bombay, Sir Meadows Taylor decided in favour of the mosque authorities. The date of its completion (AD 1802)/(AH 1217) is derivable from the chronogram Jahaz-i- Akhirat, The ship of the world to come which contains an allusion to the fact that it was constructed on the tank.A one-story building was therefore erected over the tank and formed the original nucleus of the present Jama Mosque. A top floor was added with the munificence of a prominent konkani merchant Mohammad Ali Roghay in 1814.The Jama Mosque is a quadrangular structure of brick and stone, encircled by a ring of terrace roofed and double storeyed buildings, the ground floors of which are let out as shops. The chief or eastern gate of the mosque leads directly across an open courtyard to the ancient tank, which is now furnished with masonry steps and embankments, built in 1893, and contain about ten feet of water fed by springs at the bottom, that contains gold and silver fish and few turtles. This is used for ritual ablutions (wudu), however modern facilities are also available for this purpose.From the depth of the tank rise sixteen black stone arches, constructed in 1874, which support the whole fabric of the mosque, the upper story being upheld by five rows of wooden pillars, each of which contains a receptacle for sacred books. The arches in the tank were built in 1874 at a cost of Rs. 75000/- while other noteworthy additions to the premises are the large windows in the north, east, and south sides constructed in 1898, and the school building Rs. 20000 in 1902.

An age old Masjid in Mumbai. Managed by the trust of Kankani Muslim community. It has a huge library on the first floor which has some of the rare books from Muslim literature. At the centre in side the building there is a pond. Very famous masjid in the locality. Situated in the crowded market. Dawa bazar, Crowford market, Mumbadevi temple are in close viscinity to this masjid. Many shops of Indian locally made perfumes (Attar) are located near the masjid.

Review №66

This architectural marvel stands right in the middle of a bustling commercial market place in all its splendor n grandeur. Unlike many of its peers this one is visited n revered continually since many decades.On an ordinary day one would find people of all faiths, believers as well as non believers, sitting in its aegis, discussing, discussing, arguing, questioning, convincing, about the authenticity of the claims of the prophetic verses. But unlike most of its counterparts from the world around, the non believers give a real hard time to the believers, oft frustrating them (the believers) into giving up on their agenda of converting the non-believers, while the non-believers themselves mostly becoming a little apprehensive about the prophetic claims themselves. Though this is never admitted, just silently registered on the inside.

I have seen this mosque so many times I have been to Zaveri Bazaar and adjacent areas but had always only used it as a landmark to go to other places.Got to enter it for the first time and was surprised at the architectural grandeur of this place. Everything from the ornate fish pond that goes under the mosque to the richly detailed ceilings and pillars gave off an 18th century marvel vibe. Must visit.
