Gyanvapi Survey Report Details PDF

Here are some apparent findings of the report:

• The pillars in the basement of the mosque have engravings of flowers and a ‘Kalash’ (a pitcher).
• Carvings in the “ancient Hindi language” have been found on a pillar in the basement.
• The symbol of a “Trishul” has been found on a wall of the basement.
• The team found two large pillars and an arch protruding from the western wall of the mosque. The petitioners call them remnants of temples, but the mosque committee opposes that claim.
• A conical structure has been found below the central dome of the mosque.
• A stone below the third dome of the mosque has lotus engravings.
• A round structure of 2.5 feet in height has been noticed in the pond in the mosque complex used for “Wazoo” (purification ritual before namaaz). Petitioners call it a “Shivling” but the mosque committee says it was a fountain.
• While there has been no official reaction from the Gyanvapi mosque committee, sources called it “surprising” that a sensitive report was shared even before the court could see it or give an opinion. None of this, the sources say, answers the question — of whether the video survey violates the law, specifically the Places of Worship Act of 1991, which maintains the religious status of any place of worship as it was on August 15, 1947.
