 | | According to local tradition and literary sources, Hindu and Jain temples were replaced with mosques by Babur in the Babri Masjids of (among others) Palam, Sonipat, Rohtak, Panipat, Sirsa and Sambhal (in the mosque of Sambhal Hindu temple materials can also be found). | | | The Babri Masjid was a mixture of the local influence and the Western Asian style and examples of this type of mosque are common in India. | | | The Babri Mosque (also Babri Masjid) was a mosque constructed by order of the first Mugal emperor of India, Babur, in Ayodhya in the 16th century. |

| | Ayodhya: Muslim Argument Examined by Arun Shourie |
| | To insist that we must accept it as such would be to urge that exact kind of proof which the Babri Masjid protagonists have been rejecting so emphatically in the case of Ram's birth-place. | | | After the Masjid al-Haram in which the Kaba lies, the mosque held most sacred by the faithful is the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. | | | Not far from Ishtakhr was a Masjid Sulaiman which was an old 'fire-temple'. |

| | The Ayodhya Evidence Debate |
| | Oak himself explained that the Babri Masjid itself was built by Hindus as a temple, that “Babar had nothing to do with the Babri Masjid”, and that neither the Moghul nor any Muslim ruler had demolished a Hindu temple at the site. | | | For instance several authors say that the Babri Masjid was built on empty land; others say it replaced a Jaina temple, or a Shaiva temple, or a secular building. | | | Local tradition affirms that the Babri Masjids in Palam, Somipat, Rohtak, and Sirsa have replaced Brahmanical or Jain temples. |
