ASI survey in 2023

However, this survey was not carried out in the Vajukhana area, where Shivling was allegedly found . The Hindu side says a study of Vajukhana is necessary to clarify the religious nature of the complex. The Hindu side also claims that the current mosque was built by demolishing a temple.
