The Jamia Masjid (Kashmiri: بٔڈ مٔشیٖد) is a Friday mosque located at Nowhatta in the Old City of Srinagar, in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Sikandar in 1394 CE and completed in 1402 CE, at the behest of Mir Mohammad Hamadani, the son of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani, and is regarded as one of the most important mosques in Kashmir. It is located in a central zone in the religio-political life of Srinagar, and is headed by the mirwaiz of Kashmir.
The mosque has been the site of anti-Indian protests over generations, and has become a platform for people to debate and discuss the politics of the Kashmir conflict.
