The story

Chatta Masjid, also spelt Chhatta Masjid, is a congregational mosque in the Dulhingunj neighbourhood of Gaya, Bihar, close to the Falgu river. It stands in a busy marketplace and is known as a landmark for the bakeries around it, which sell traditional bakarkhanis and sheermals, and for wholesale shops dealing in dates imported from the Middle East.

The mosque fills up during Shab-e-Barat, and at Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha it serves as the local eidgah. During the COVID-19 pandemic its premises stayed closed to visitors until late August 2021.
