In 1669, Aurangzeb destroyed Kashi Vishvanath which is the holiest place of Hindus.
For the next 300 years, Hindus constantly fought multiple battles for Vishvanath.

This thread(π§΅) tells their story!
He proceeded with his army but was stopped by Dashnami & Naga Sadhus.
A battle took place from morning to evening.
Even with less number & poor equipment, Sadhus fought very bravely & decimated Aurangzeb.
This time, they overpowered any resistance and destroyed the temple.
They also built the Islamic dome over it. This is known to everyone.
What is not known is that Hindus reclaimed it
In fact, stubborn Hindus refused to go anywhere. They came back the moment imperial army left.
They visited the Gyanvapi structure & worshiped Shiva in the dome
Maharana Jagat Singh in 1677.
Aniruddha Singh in 1695.
Mughals were unable to stop Hindus from praying in Gyanvapi.

From the petition, we see that Hindu Murtis were placed inside the Masjid and Hindu ritual worship was taking place.
