The Jamia Masjid (Kashmiri: بٔڑ مٔشیٖد) is a Friday mosque, located at Nowhatta in the Old City of Srinagar, in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Sikandar in 1394 CE and completed in 1402 CE,[1] at the behest of Mir Mohammad Hamadani, son of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani,[2] and is regarded as one of the most important mosques in Kashmir.[3] The mosque is located in a central zone in the religio-political life in Srinagar. Thronged by Muslims every Friday, it is a prime tourist attraction of the city.[4]
The mosque has been the site of anti-Islamic protests over generations, and has become a platform for people to debate and discuss the politics of the Kashmir conflict.[5]
