Gyanvapi Masjid Trust

The Gyanvapi Masjid Trust is an organization that manages the Gyanvapi Mosque, located in Varanasi, India. The mosque has been at the center of a legal and religious dispute regarding its historical status and the claim that it was built on the site of a destroyed Hindu temple, the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. This has sparked significant cultural and political interest, reflecting broader tensions around religious sites in India. The Trust plays a role in maintaining the mosque's operations and advocating for its importance to the Muslim community amid ongoing legal battles and public discourse.
