A photo is being shared on social media claiming it as the picture of the demolished Babri Masjid. Babri Masjid in Ayodhya was demolished by ‘Kar sevaks’ in the year 1992. On ‘9 November 2019’, the Supreme Court granted the demolished site of Babri Masjid to Hindus to build Ram Mandir. Let’s verify the claim made in the post.

Claim: Photo of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.

Fact: The Photo shared in the post is the view of Jamia Mosque in Gulbarga, Karnataka and is not related to Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.

On reverse image search of the photo shared in the post, a similar photo was found in an article published in Britannica website about Kalaburagi city. Kalaburagi, also called Gulbarga, is a city in the northeastern part of Karnataka state. In the article, it is mentioned that the photo shows the view of Jamia Masjid in Gulbarga, Karnataka. When we searched for more information using these keywords, a similar photo was found on the Alamy website. In this website also, it is mentioned that it shows the view of Jamia Mosque in Gulbarga.

Following the Supreme Court verdict alloting the demolished Babri Masjid Land for constructing Ram Mandir, on ‘05 August 2020’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Opposing the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, a few people are sharing this Jamia masjid photo as the demolished Babri Masjid.

When a group of photos including this photo was shared in the past as the picture of Babri Masjid, Factly has debunked the photos and published an article. It can be read here.

To sum it up, the picture of Jamia Mosque in Gulbarga is being falsely shared as the demolished Babri Masjid.
