The Gyanvapi Mosque is located in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was constructed by Aurangzeb c. 1678, a decade after his demolition of an old Shiva temple.[1] The site is under a decades-old litigation, which gained momentum in 2022 after some Hindu women sought the right to worship on the outer wall of the mosque complex.[2] Previously, until 1993, the Hindu devotees were allowed to worship there in Chaitra Navaratri.[3] The Gyanvapi mosque stands adjacent to the redeveloped Kashi Vishwanath Temple complex.[4]
