Gyan Kup (Gyan Vapi Well)

The Gyanvapi mosque was constructed by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. It is located north of Dashashwamedh Ghat, near Lalita Ghat along the river Ganga. It is a Jama Masjid located in the heart of the Varanasi city. It is administered by Anjuman Inthazamiya Masajid. A temple structure can be seen at the mosque's rear wall, long believed to be a remnant of the original Kashi Vishwanath temple.
