Gyanvapi Masjid

Gyanvapi Masjid is a mosque located in Varanasi, India, near the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of Hinduism's holiest sites. The site has been the focus of a long-standing legal and cultural dispute between Hindu and Muslim communities. Many Hindus believe the mosque was built on the ruins of a Hindu temple, leading to calls for its re-establishment as a temple. The situation reflects broader historical tensions and issues of religious identity in India. Legal battles concerning the site continue, making it a significant point of interest in contemporary social and political discussions.
