India: Ancient Vishnu idol, ‘Shivling’ found in Krishna river of Karnataka

The Indian Supreme Court (SC) on Friday stayed the order of Allahabad High Court asking the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) to conduct “scientific survey”, including carbon dating, to determine the age of a ‘Shivling’ (idol of God Shiva), which the Hindu plaintiffs claim is inside the Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi.

“Since the implications of the impugned order merit closer scrutiny, the implementation of the directions concerned in the order shall stand deferred till the next date", said the order passed by a bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala.

The judges said that the implications of the lower court’s order warrant a closer scrutiny and added that all stakeholders "must tread carefully".

The top court’s ruling came in response to a special leave petition filed by the Anjuman Islamia Masjid committee, which manages Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi, against the high court's order allowing the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to carbon-date the 'shivling'.

The apex court has sought responses from the Central and Uttar Pradesh governments over the plea filed by the Muslim side against the HC’s order.

<h2>Allahabad HC's order on May 12</h2>

On May 12, the high court gave a go-ahead to the scientific survey to ascertain the age of the structure.

The court observed that a scientific investigation of the object can be done without causing any harm to it. The lower court had made the decision based on a report by the Archaeological Survey, Justice Arvind Kumar Mishra-I said in his judgement.

It said that the process undertaken by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) needs to be carried out under the supervision of Varanasi District judge.

A petition seeking a scientific probe was earlier made before the Varanasi court in September 2022. But it was rejected because the top court had passed an order in May last year to protect the spot where the disputed structure was found.

The case pertains to a petition filed by five Hindu women seeking permission for the worship of Hindu deities whose idols were allegedly found to be located on an outer wall of the Gyanvapi mosque.

The claim was disputed by the Muslim side who said that the mosque is a Waqf property.

In May last year, an oval-shaped object was discovered during a survey of the mosque premises ordered by a Varanasi civil court. The caretaker committee of the mosque claimed that the object was a defunct fountainhead in the ablution tank.

Gyanvapi mosque: India’s apex court stays scientific probe, carbon dating of ‘shivling’

On Friday (October 7), the Varanasi court deferred the order on the plea seeking&nbsp;carbon dating of the structure deemed to be a 'shivling,' a significant object of worship in the Hindu religion.&nbsp;The next hearing is expected to be held on October 11.

The scientific probe has been opposed by Rakhi Singh, one of the five plaintiffs in the case, saying this method might harm&nbsp;the&nbsp;structure.

Singh's representative, Jitendra Singh Bisen, said that this can be viewed as an "act of sacrilege." He further added that it was like casting doubt on the shivling's existence.

On the other hand, the mosque committee has also raised objections to the scientific investigation and argued that the object that the petitioners are referring to is actually a ‘fountain’ and not a ‘shivling’.

Reportedly, this structure was found in a pond in the Gyanvapi mosque complex, which was being used as a "wazoo pond" for purification before Muslim prayers.&nbsp;On September 12, the Varanasi court had dismissed a plea challenging the maintainability of the case.&nbsp;

Earlier this month, the district judge had also dismissed the committees’ challenge that the Hindu women who had been worshipping in the mosque complex had no legal backing. Notably, the challenge was dismissed on all three counts put forth.

Previously, the court had also ordered the filming of the centuries-old mosque based on the petition filed by the five women. This led to a major controversy as prior to the court date, the video of the mosque complex was allegedly leaked by the Hindu petitioners, claiming that there was a ‘shivling’ or relic of Lord Shiva.

The ongoing case is regarding the Gyanvapi mosque, which is located in the city of Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. It is also one of the several structures that a faction of Hindu hardliners assert is built on the ruins of Hindu temples.

Gyanvapi row: Indian court defers order on carbon dating of 'shivling' structure

Advocates of the Hindu side have claimed that a 'Shivling' (idol of Lord Shiva) has been found inside a well of Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi. The claim was made as court-mandated videography took place on third consecutive day.

Lawyer Vishnu Jain said that he would go to civil court to seek protection of the idol.

An advocate from the Hindu side, Madan Mohan Yadav, claimed that the shivling is Nandi faced.

"The shivling is 12 feet by 8 inches in diameter," he added.

Heavy security was deployed at the complex as court-appointed committee reached spot to carry out the survey on Monday (May 16). On Sunday, nearly 65 per cent of the exercise was completed.

On Sunday, the survey of the areas of the mosque which, according to lawyers Hari Shankar Jain and Vishnu Jain, used to be a part of the temple, was done.

On the western wall of the Gyanvapi complex, the remains of Hindu temple demolition are visible and the pictures will be surveyed. For this, the fourth lock was opened on Monday, while the first three rooms were opened during the survey on Saturday.

What is the Gyanvapi mosque issue?

Gyanvapi Mosque is near the iconic Kashi Vishwanath Temple in the holy city Varanasi. The mosque is currently facing a legal battle. A court in Varanasi has directed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to probe the structure of the Gyanvapi Masjid.

The Hindu side&nbsp;wants permission to worship in the Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri complex daily. It has demanded videography of the structure to support its claim that in order to prove the existence of Shringar Gauri (a Hindu deity) idol, entry into the mosque is necessary.

The Muslim side, which is, Anjuman Intezamiya Masajid (mosque management committee) says that the idol of Shringar Gauri is on the western side of the mosque.

It is claimed that the temple was built more than two thousand years ago. The claim says that Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb demolished the Hindu temple and built a mosque.

Five Delhi-based women -- Rakhi Singh, Laxmi Devi, Sita Sahu and others moved the court with their plea on April 18, 2021, seeking permission for daily prayers before the idols of Hindu deities.
