Sat Tad Masjid

The Sat Tad Masjid stands in the Mandvi area of Mumbai, right next to Masjid railway station. Its name means mosque of the seven brab trees, after a group of palms that once grew near it.

From 1770 to 1802 it served as Bombay's Friday mosque, while the present Jama Mosque near Crawford Market was being built, and by 1901 it had an annual income of 11,000 rupees. A panel outside records that the Victoria Dock explosion of 1944 badly damaged the building, which had to be rebuilt, and regular congregational prayers resumed in 1951. The Sat Tad Kadim Mosque Trust runs it.
