The Jama Masjid is a Friday mosque, located near the Killa Arrak in Aurangabad, in the state of Maharashtra, India. Completed in 1612 CE and extended in 1692, the mosque is historically significant because it was constructed very soon after the foundation of Aurangabad (then called "Fatehpur") by Malik Amber in 1610. It is one of the oldest mosques of Aurangabad in good condition.
