Gyanvapi Masjid Row: Supreme Court to hear Muslim Paksh petition today | ABP News

After the completion of a court-ordered videography survey of the Gyanvapi Masjid complex on Monday, Varanasi witnessed a high-voltage drama, as the Hindu side's counsel claimed that a Shivling was discovered next to the "wuzukhana" – a small pond used by Muslim worshipers to perform ablutions before performing the namaz. The Hindu petitioner in the case, Sohan Lal Arya, claimed that the committee discovered a Shivling in the compound, and the Varanasi district court issued an order to seal the area. A member of the mosque's management committee fiercely denied the story, claiming that the object was part of the "wuzukhana's" water fountain mechanism.
