A set of old and unrelated structures has been shared on social media as some rare pictures of the Babri Mosque before its demolition in 1992.
On 6 December 1992, the Babri Mosque in Ayodhya of Uttar Pradesh was demolished by a large group of activists of the Vishva Hindu Parishad and allied organisations. After a prolonged case over the disputed site, on 9 November 2019, the Supreme Court ordered to hand over the entire land to a trust to build the Hindu temple.
Remembering the demolition and riots that followed it, several social media users shared pictures of the Babri Mosque. A Facebook user shared a set of photographs and captioned, "Some rare pictures of Babri Masjid #BabriMasjidZindaHai."
