In a significant development, the Allahabad High Court has allowed for a scientific survey of the disputed structure at the Gyan Vapi Mosque.
The court has directed that the survey must be carried out without causing any harm to Shivling, and the objective is to ascertain how old Shivling is.
The Gyan Vapi Mosque is located in the city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, and it has been a site of contention for many years. The dispute revolves around a Shivling that is said to have been present at the site before the mosque was built.

The court has also directed that the survey must be carried out under the supervision of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), which is the premier agency for the preservation and protection of India’s cultural heritage.

The Allahabad High Court’s decision comes at a time when there has been a growing demand for the resolution of long-standing disputes over religious sites in India.
The court’s decision is being seen as a step towards promoting peace and harmony between different communities in the country.
The survey is expected to begin soon, and its results will be eagerly awaited by all concerned parties. The Allahabad High Court has expressed the hope that the survey will help resolve the dispute and bring closure to a long-standing issue.
