Varanasi: Muslims offer Friday prayers at Gyanvapi Mosque

Friday prayers were held peacefully at Gyanvapi Mosque amid heightened security, with approximately 2000 attendees, setting a new attendance record. Post-prayer, a 45-minute discussion centered on peace and brotherhood ensued. Notably, there was no discourse on the decision regarding Gyanvapi's basement. Democracy's perceived weakening in the country also found mention. Despite the fullness of Gyanvapi, authorities diverted worshippers to other mosques due to overcrowding.
