New Delhi: Ahead of the Supreme Court hearing of the Gyanvapi mosque case, former court-appointed Commissioner Ajay Kumar Mishra submitted the survey report before the Varanasi court. The advocate revealed that several sculptures of gods and goddesses along with other structures related to Hindu belief were seen in the Masjid, said an ANI report.
Advocate Ajay Kumar Mishra, who was appointed Commissioner by the Varanasi court to survey the Gyanvapi-Gauri Shringar complex, 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," the survey report submitted before the court said.
According to the report, "Further four idol like structures with "Sinduri" mark were observed. It seemed that arrangments for lighting diyas were there. The stone slabs with artistic patterns were kept in the west wall behind the mosque appeared to be in the continuity with the big structure." It further mentioned that the three-four sculptures with Sindoor marks and `Choukhat` like stone slab are believed to be `Sringar Gouri`.
Notably, the local court had removed Advocate Commissioner Ajay Mishra on Tuesday, stating that he had been "highly irresponsible" in executing the work. The three-day-long court-monitored videography survey of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple-Gyanvapi Mosque complex in Varanasi concluded on Monday.
The Hindu petitioner in the case, Sohan Lal Arya on Monday claimed that the committee found a Shivling at the complex. Arya, who accompanied the court commission for the mosque survey, said that they have found "conclusive evidence".
