When the team came out after the Gyanvapi survey was completed on the second day, the Hindu side claimed its right. A person from the Hindu side, who came out of Gyanvapi, said that there will be a survey tomorrow also. Our claim is getting stronger day by day.
Muslim side claims on second day of survey
The lawyer of the Muslim side, who came out after the survey, told the media three times in a loud voice – nothing was found, nothing was found, nothing was found…. Saying this he left. Varanasi DM Kaushal Raj Sharma said that the survey will be conducted in a peaceful environment on Monday as well. On the other hand, lawyers say that till the survey is not completed, it is not appropriate to comment on it.

In 2021, 5 women filed petition on Gyanvapi
- Rakhi Singh, a resident of Delhi and Laxmi Devi, Sita Sahu, Manju Vyas and Rekha Pathak, a resident of Banaras, filed a petition in the court of Civil Judge Senior Division, Varanasi on 18 August 2021.
- It said that the Gyanvapi complex houses Hindu deities. In such a situation, regular darshan-worship of Maa Shringar Gauri should be allowed in the Gyanvapi campus. Along with this, it was also said in the petition to clarify the situation by conducting a survey for the safety of other deities located on the premises.
- The temple of Maa Shringar Gauri is at the rear of Gyanvapi. Before 1992, there used to be regular darshan-worship here. Later it was closed due to security and other reasons. At present, one day in a year on Chaitra Navratri, the worship of Shringar Gauri is allowed.
- The Muslim side has no objection to the worship of Shringar Gauri. They are opposed to the survey and videography of the entire campus. They are opposing the same thing from Varanasi Court to Supreme Court.
