Hindus started worshiping at Gyanvapi Masjid

Gyanvapi case: Varanasi court allows Hindu side to pray in mosque basement

Uttar Pradesh: In 1991, Hindu religious groups approached the court alleging that the Gyanvapi Masjid in Varanasi had an ancient Shiva temple in its cellars, which had been razed to the ground to build a mosque. Later in 2019, lawyer Vijay Shankar Rastogi revived the petition. The court directed the authorities to conduct a scientific survey for evidence. After hearing the arguments, the Varanasi court on Wednesday (January 31, 2024) gave its verdict allowing Hindus to worship. The district administration has ordered to make necessary arrangements for performing prayers within a week.

Nagendra Pandey, chairman of Kashi Vishwanath Trust, said that although the court gave a 7 days time for arrangements, the cellar was opened at 10.30 pm on Wednesday and performed worship according to Hindu Shastra with Veda mantras and priests.

A video and photos related to these prayers were posted by Vishnu Shankar Jain, a lawyer on behalf of Hindus, on his official X account. Two prominent lawyers Vishnu Shankar Jain and Subhash Nandan Chaturvedi, who argued for the Hindus, said that all Hindus can participate in pujas with devotion.
