Background.
Construction of the Nainital Jama Masjid commenced in 1865 during the British Indian era. Historian Professor Ajay Rawat has claimed that the mosque is from the British period, and it was renovated in 1996-97. Due to a lack of space in the mosque, worshippers were offering "namaz" outside the mosque, on the road, which impacted traffic flow. Kishan Negi, the Chamber of Commerce president in the late 1990s, made a contribution for renovations to the mosque.
