Hindu Temple Under Varanasi's Gyan Vapi Mosque? Court Orders Survey | Read
A court in Varanasi has ordered the Archaeological Survey of India to carry out a physical survey of the town's Gyanvapi Mosque, located right next to the famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The court ordered the survey while ruling on a three-decade old petition, which contended that Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb had demolished an ancient temple of "Lord Vishweshwar" and "constructed a mosque with the help of the ruins of the said temple".
