Varanasi, May 19: Several sculptures of gods and goddesses, as well as other structures related to Hindu belief, were seen in the Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi, according to advocate Ajay Kumar Mishra.
Notably, he was earlier the appointed commissioner by the Varanasi court to survey the Gyanvapi-Gauri Shringar complex but was later removed for leaking the information.
“Outside the barricading of the disputed area, the ruins of the old temple were found in which sculptures of gods and goddesses and patterns of lotus were seen. In the middle, stone sculptures of Sheshnag and “Nag phan” like patterns were seen. All the slabs seemed to be part of a big edifice,” reads the report by Ajay Kumar Mishra.
The three-four statues with Sindoor marks and a ‘Choukhat’-like stone slab are thought to be ‘Sringar Gouri,’ according to Mishra’s research.
Notably, after requesting a two-day delay, the Varanasi court-appointed committee that performed the survey of the Kashi Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi mosque complex submitted its report today.
