A local court here directed the district administration to seal a spot Pin the Gyanvapi Masjid complex after counsels representing the Hindu petitioners said a Shivling was found Monday during a court-mandated videography survey.
A mosque management committee spokesperson disputed the claim, telling a television channel that the object was part of a “fountain". He said lawyers representing the mosque committee were not fully heard before the sealing order was announced.
The Hindu side claimed that the "Shivling” was found close to the "wazookhana" -a small reservoir used by Muslim devotees to perform ritual ablutions before offering the namaz.
