Total 8 basements in Gyanvapi
Hindu party advocate Saurabh Tiwari said that according to the survey conducted by the ASI, there are 8 basements in Gyanavapi. Out of these, S-1 and N-1 basements were not surveyed as the way to these basements has been blocked with bricks and stones. The possibility of finding more basements in Gyanvapi has also been considered.
