After the order of Varanasi District Court on Gyanvapi Mosque, the petitioner and devotees have demanded to install bell and other puja materials in the Vyas ka 'Tehkhana' where prayers are being performed.
Sanchit Rastogi, a textile businessman from Kashi bought bell and other puja materials and as per the legal procedure, through his lawyer Sudhir Tripathi, he will meet the receiver of Gyanvapi i.e., the District Magistrate and demand to install the puja material in the temple.
"After the puja started, we will hand over the bell and arti materials to the District Magistrate. Since he is the receiver, he should get these things installed as per the right arrangement so that they can be used daily during the puja. We believe that when the Aarti is being performed, then it is important to have proper materials," he told ANI.
Hindu side's lawyer Sudhir Tripathi said that after the DM's approval, we will install the bell in the complex.
"The receiver is the District Magistrate and on his orders, the bell will be hung there. We have prepared the application on behalf of the devotee for installing the bell. I will give the application before the magistrate, after that, we will install it," he said.
Rekha Pathak, a petitioner in the Gyanvapi Shringaar Gauri case told ANI that they will get the required permission to install the bell at the puja area.
"Symbols of 'Damru' and 'Trishul' have been found which shows that all the evidence are of our Lord Shiva. Therefore, we planned to install a bell in the 'Tehkhana' in which the puja has started. We are following the law only. We will get permission because it is a part of the puja," she said.
The court granted time until February 6 for the Masjid Intezamia Committee of Gyanvapi mosque to amend its pleadings to include a challenge to a January 17 order consequent to which the January 31 order was passed.
