Nadi Jame Masjid and Lautoka Sikh Temple: Visitor Guide
Last updated and fact-checked:
For a mosque in Nadi, look up Nadi Jame Masjid. For a Sikh gurdwara, make a separate trip to Lautoka Sikh Temple on Vitogo Parade. These are active places of worship: if you want to see a prayer space, contact the community before you travel.
Nadi Muslim College refers to prayers at Nadi Jame Masjid, while the Fiji Muslim League's individual mosque page is currently under maintenance. A 2026 telephone directory lists a number for the League's Nadi branch, giving you a more useful starting point than guessing visitor hours from a map.
Where to go at a glance

Nadi Jame Masjid: map and local contact
Nadi Muslim College, which is managed by the Fiji Muslim League's Nadi branch, says that its students attend prayers at Nadi Jame Masjid. Independent map listings place the mosque at 6C38+JGV, in the Navakai area. That plus code is a navigation lead, not an address supplied by the mosque. It is away from the market area of central Nadi.
The 2026 Fiji telephone directory lists the FML Nadi branch at +679 670 2638. Ask the branch to confirm the location and whether a non-worship visit can be arranged. If you cannot reach the branch, the League's Suva headquarters lists +679 3384 566 and [email protected]. These are organization contacts, not published sightseeing hours.
Lautoka Sikh Temple: a gurdwara you can locate from Nadi
The Sikh World Gurudwaras directory places Lautoka Sikh Temple on Vitogo Parade. A gurdwara is a Sikh place of worship and community gathering, with the Guru Granth Sahib at the center of the prayer hall. A separate business directory lists +679 666 0685. This number has not been confirmed by the congregation, and the World Gurudwaras page prints a shorter version, so check that you have reached the temple before making arrangements.
We do not have a verified Nadi town gurdwara address to recommend. Langar, a shared community meal, is part of Sikh practice, but ask locally whether a meal is offered during your visit.
What to wear and how to behave
At a mosque
Wear modest clothing and follow the host's directions about which areas visitors may enter. Remove your shoes before a prayer hall when asked. A head covering may be requested in some spaces, so carrying a light scarf is useful. Do not walk into a prayer in progress as if it were a scheduled tour. The Muslim Council of Britain's visitor guide explains these general practices; the Nadi congregation decides its own access arrangements.
At a gurdwara
Bring a cloth or scarf to cover your head, remove shoes and wash your hands before entering the prayer hall. Wear clothing suitable for sitting on the floor. The Sikh Coalition's visitor guide explains the usual practice and welcomes people of other faiths. You need not imitate worshippers if you are unsure; follow the host's lead and sit quietly.
At either site, ask before taking photos, especially of worshippers or inside a prayer space. Our Nadi photography etiquette guide covers consent in more detail.
Getting there from Nadi
For the Nadi mosque, use the plus code as a map lead and confirm it with the branch. Lautoka is a separate trip: taxis go directly, and buses connect the cities, though you may need a short local ride or walk to Vitogo Parade. Our Nadi transport guide covers the options.
Why these places matter beyond a visitor stop
The Fiji Government dates the arrival of Indian indentured laborers from 1879 through 1916. The Fiji Muslim League has served Muslim communities in Fiji since 1926. Research on Fiji's Indian diaspora also records later Punjabi migration. The communities have distinct histories that cannot be reduced to a single origin story.
For a separate Hindu place of worship with its own visitor guidance, see our Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple guide. It is a different tradition and a different visit, not an interchangeable stop.
FijiEco research note
Nadi Muslim College names the mosque, while the League's page for it currently says "Under Maintenance." The Nadi branch number comes from Fiji's 2026 telephone directory; the map code and Lautoka phone come from independent directories. None of these sources establishes public sightseeing hours or a booked tour.
