A court in Uttar Pradesh has directed an advocate commissioner to conduct a survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, following a plea that the mosque was built after demolishing a Kalki temple during the Mughal era. The Shahi Jama Masjid, a recognized historical monument, is located in Sambhal and has been the subject of a legal dispute regarding its origins.
The civil court in Sambhal appointed Ramesh Raghav as the advocate commissioner to conduct the survey and submit a report by November 29. This decision comes after a petition was filed by advocate Hari Shankar Jain and seven others, claiming that the mosque was constructed on the site of a demolished Kalki temple, which they say stood there during the Mughal period.
The petitioners allege that the mosque was built under the orders of the first Mughal emperor, Babur, who is said to have demolished the original temple, dedicated to Kalki, the final incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. They accuse the current caretakers of the Jama Masjid of illegally using the site for the mosque.
The petitioners argue that the site, which they believe housed the Kalki temple, was partially destroyed by Babur in 1529 to convert it into a mosque, referencing the alleged demolition of the Hari Hari temple.
Civil Judge Aditya Singh, while setting the hearing date for November 29, stated that having a report about the site’s condition could assist the court in making a more informed judgment regarding the dispute.
As the survey and report progress, this case continues to attract attention due to its historical and religious significance.
