Where exactly is the survey in Gyanwapi Masjid?

The Varanasi court had decided to carry out a scientific survey of the main western wall and three domes of the Gnanavapi Masjid. The court had also ordered to inspect the ground under all the basements of the mosque complex to check the nature of the construction and its period. The court said that all the artefacts in this mosque will be counted, and besides determining their period, the plinth and pillars of the mosque should also be dated.

What is knowledge transfer case?

In 1991, some sadhus of Varanasi had requested the court to allow them to worship in the Gyanavapi Masjid area. The petitioners claim that this mosque was constructed by demolishing a part of a Hindu temple. Recently, five Hindu women sought permission from the court to allow the worship of Sringargauri and other deities in the Gnanavapi Masjid complex. The court appointed a committee to survey and photograph the ground floors of the complex. The mosque management committee objected to this survey. While the Hindu petitioners claim that the Shivlinga was found there during the survey, the Muslim petitioners claim that it is part of the Vajukhana. However, the Hindu petitioners expressed the need to conduct a scientific survey and chronology in the 'Shivaling' area.
