A glimmer of hope has arisen towards the beginning of a resolution of the centuries-old Kashi Vishwanath Temple-Gyanvapi Mosque dispute. Recently, a district court in Varanasi has directed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to constitute a five-member committee to conduct “a comprehensive archaeological survey” of the disputed site in order to ascertain whether the mosque is a superimposition, alteration or addition over any other religious structure, or structurally overlapped with such other structure.
