Abstract

India is a rich heritage country that has several religions and beliefs. In India, there are many temples, churches, mosques and all religious places. Moreover, sometimes we see the debate on the property of temples and mosques. Debate on whether there was a temple or mosque. In this article, you will find one of the recent cases that are Gyanvapi Case where there is a dispute over a temple or mosque. However, Gyanvapi is a place located in Banaras, Uttar Pradesh. When we go into history we will find that there was a temple that belongs to Lord Shiva known as the Vishweshwar temple. In addition to it, it is discussed how the development took place and how the mosque was built after deconstructing the temple. You will find how the archaeological survey of India surveys the mosque and what the court says on that issue. We know that everyone has a right to religion and on that basis, the court will peacefully decide the matter. And judgments are not just clarifying the parameters of the right to freedom of religion, but are affected by the extremely formation of devotion and sentiment of the people.
