Gyanvapi: Hindu Paksh To Offer Prayer 5-Times A Day

VARANASI: Following a Varanasi court’s permission for worship at the disputed Gyanvapi mosque-Shringar Gauri complex, Hindu religious ceremonies were conducted.

Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, representing the Hindu side, has now announced that aarti will take place five times daily within the ‘Vyas Ka Tekhana’ located inside the complex.

A Varanasi court’s decision on Wednesday permitted Hindu devotees to worship within the sealed basement of the Gyanvapi mosque.

According to the court order, prayers are now allowed at ‘Vyas Ka Tekhana,’ a restricted area within Varanasi’s Gyanvapi mosque.

On Thursday midnight, the Hindu side opened the Gyanvapi complex for worship.

The idols discovered during the premises survey were placed, and a prayer ceremony ensued, accompanied by the offering of prasad.

Among the artifacts placed were a statue of Vishnu, a Ganesh idol, two Hanuman statues, and a stone inscribed with ‘Ram.’

Simultaneously, the UP Police maintained vigilance, conducting patrols to prevent any untoward incidents as authorities remained on alert.
