Gyanvapi Survey Unveils 17th Century Temple Demolition: ASI Report Reveals Significant Findings

The 839-page survey report by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on the Gyanvapi complex has been obtained by five individuals, leading to significant revelations. Hindu lawyer Vishnu Jain from the plaintiff’s side is set to conduct a press conference at a hotel to discuss the findings.

According to the ASI survey, inscriptions of Janardan, Rudra, and Vishveshwar were discovered in the Gyanvapi complex, with references to Mahamukti Mandap. ASI emphasizes that these findings strongly suggest the presence of a Hindu temple. During the survey, a broken stone was found, confirming the government’s assessment. The report indicates that the temple was demolished on September 2, 1669, and pillars from the original temple were repurposed for the mosque. The basement S2 contained statues of Hindu deities, and ASI asserts that the western wall is a remnant of the Hindu temple.

ASI contends that a Hindu temple structure existed before the mosque, and Vishnu Shankar Jain, the Hindu side’s lawyer, announces plans to seek a survey of the sealed Vajukhana from the Supreme Court.

The court mandated both parties to deposit Rs 3500 in the district court’s treasury to obtain a physical copy of the 800-page ASI report, rejecting email distribution. District Judge Dr. Ajay Krishna’s court order permits media coverage of the survey report, emphasizing the need for transparency in the interest of justice. The court encourages parties to scrutinize the report for possible objections.
