The Gyanvapi mosque case witnesses a twist as the ASI report reveals a large Hindu temple's existence before the mosque's construction. Lawyers representing the Hindu side express confidence in victory, awaiting clarification on the Shivling-fountain dispute. A structure discovered during a court-mandated survey is contested by Hindus as a 'Shivling' and by Muslims as a fountain. The ASI survey aimed to determine if the mosque was built over a pre-existing Hindu temple. The report's disclosure marks a significant development in the ongoing dispute, with both sides seeking copies of the report following a Varanasi court order.
