In the plea it is said that in the year 1194 Qutub-ud-din-aibak destroyed the original Kashi Vishwanath temple, and built the Raziya Masjid there. Even today it stands in front of the Kashi Vishwanath temple. Besides this Aurangzeb demolished the Bindu Madhav Temple and built in its place the Dharhara Masjid, hence, that temple too should be rebuilt.
