The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has resumed its scientific survey of the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, to determine if it was built over a pre-existing Hindu temple structure. The survey had been stalled earlier but was allowed by the Allahabad High Court, prompting the mosque committee to challenge the order in the Supreme Court.
