💨 Abstract

The Mughal-era Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, began whitewashing under ASI supervision following a high court order. The mosque has been a point of contention due to a petition claiming it was an ancient Hindu temple site. Riots broke out in November over a court-ordered survey, resulting in four deaths and injuries.
