Ganesh idols in Qutub Minar: ASI removes iron meshes, deity now visible

Qutub Minar

The Archeological Survey of India (ASI) has removed the two iron meshes in Qutubminar’s Kuwwat-ul-Islam mosque after which Lord Ganesha’s idols have become apparent. Removing the iron mesh was the demand of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and other Hindu groups.

The Lord Ganesha idols had been covered by two iron meshes years ago. Now, after cleaning the idols, ASI has covered the idol with bulletproof glass.

It was believed that the idol was in an inverted position. But now it is visible that the idol is upright. However, ASI hasn’t given permission to tourists to conduct puja in honour of the deity.
