Recently, the Gyanvapi Mosque in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India has been disputed over whether Hindus or Muslims should have control of the site and who is allowed to pray on its premises. Historians widely agree that in the past, a Hindu temple to Lord Shiva was built at the current location of the mosque. According to historical accounts, in 1669, the Mugal Emperor Aurangzeb ordered the temple's destruction, and the Gyanvapi Mosque was built atop its remains. Going back to 1991, local Hindu priests petitioned to access the mosque, and 20 years later, this contention has been reignited. The mosque's Management Committee challenged the petition to allow Hindu prayers inside of the mosque, saying it violated the Places of Worship Act, which upholds the status of all religious sites as they stood at the time of Independence (1947). In April 2021, a "videographic survey" of the site was ordered after a new petition to worship was filed by 5 Hindu women. The survey revealed evidence of Hindu symbols and iconography and the discovery of a "shivling." The mosque's Management Committee countered that the shivling was the remains of a fountain that worshippers use to wash before praying. The two sides continue to go back and forth in the courts, with no clear end in sight.
