Gyanvapi Masjid Row: What is the truth behind the Shivling? | ABP News

Following the conclusion 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 close to the "wuzukhana" – a small reservoir used by Muslim devotees to perform ablutions before offering the namaz. The Varanasi district court ordered the location where the Hindu petitioner in the case, Sohan Lal Arya, claimed the committee discovered a Shivling. A member of the mosque's management committee fiercely denied the story, claiming the object was part of the "wuzukhana's" water fountain mechanism.
