Following the release of a survey report by the Archeological Survey of India, confirming evidence of Hindu temples, today's Jumma (prayers held by muslims on every friday) at the disputed Gyanvapi mosque holds a special importance.
The ASI survey was ordered by the Varanasi district court after the Hindu petitioners claimed the 17th-century mosque was constructed over a pre-existing temple.
The ASI had already submitted the report earlier this month. The copies of the survey report are likely to be handed over to the relevant parties by tomorrow.

Armed robbers raided the house of a policeman in Ausgram in the small hours today and looted gold jewellery, cash, electronic goods and thrashed the family members.
The report was submitted in a sealed cover before Varanasi District Judge A K Vishvesha.
The standing Counsel of the government of India had moved an application in the district judge's court seeking one more week’s time to file the report as the health of ASI Superintending Archaeologist Avinash Mohanty on health grounds.
Now the court has fixed December 11 as the next date of hearing in the case and submission of the survey report by then.
