According to the report, the previous building was demolished in the seventeenth century during the reign of Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor.

In a significant development, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) came to the conclusion that a Hindu temple had previously stood where the Gyanvapi mosque now stands in its scientific survey report.

According to the report, the previous building was demolished in the seventeenth century during the reign of Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor.

“The pre-existing structure appears to have been destroyed in the 17th century, during the reign of Aurangzeb, and part of it was modified and reused in the existing structure. Based on scientific studies/ survey carried out, study of architectural remains, exposed features and artefacts, inscriptions, art and sculptures, it can be said that there existed a Hindu temple prior to the construction of the existing structure,” the report said

Also the report said “Western wall of Gyanvapi Mosque is remaining part of pre-existing Hindu Temple”
The Archaeological Survey of India’s (ASI) survey report on Gyanvapi Mosque in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi claims that there existed “a large Hindu Temple before the construction of the existing structure”

On Archaeological Survey of India’s report on Gyanvapi Case, Advocate Hari Shankar Jain says, “According to the ASI report, the present structure was made on a Hindu Temple. The Western wall is around 5000 years old and it belongs to a Hindu Temple. It has carvings of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. Inscriptions are in Telugu and Kannada… Broken idols are found. An inscription installed by Aurangzeb has been found which clearly states that the structure was built after tearing down a temple… GPR survey also says that a lot is there underneath the sealed area…” (25.01)
