Rare photo of Gyanvapi complex clicked in 1868, see here

Amid the ongoing case, there is a new development in this regard. Exclusive investigation of Zee News has brought to surface rare picture which is being said to be part of the wall of the basement built under the Gyanvapi mosque.

Zee News has claimed to have found a rare 154-year-old picture of the Gyanvapi campus that is revealing the truth behind the claims being made by the Hindu side. A picture clicked by British photographer Samuel Bourne in the year 1868 has surfaced. 

The picture clearly shows how the Gyanvapi mosque complex looked during that era. In this picture, Hindu artifacts and bells are seen on the pillars present in the Gyanvapi complex along with the idols of Nandi and Lord Hanuman.

With this new development, it is clear that Lord Hanuman, the 11th Rudravatar of Lord Shiva, is also seated in the Gyanvapi premises. Hence, this picture further corroborates the claims of the Hindu side that Hindu symbols and idols of gods and goddesses are present in the Gyanvapi mosque complex, Zee News report claims. However, we in DNA English, cannot vouch for the authenticity of the photo that has appeared in the reports.

Earlier, the Hindu side, giving evidence of the presence of Maa Shringar Gauri, had demanded the worship of Maa Shringar here throughout the year. This picture is preserved in 'The Museum of Fine Arts' in Houston, USA and it also consolidates the claims of the Hindu side over the Gyanwapi complex, says Zee News sources.
