  • Yes, it was done during the Mugul rule in India
  • This is very much possible. There were some researchers shed light into this in the past.
  • i think there is much possibility(80%) of it because before mughals entered into India the only religion exist in India was Hinduism and it could be possible at that place many temples could have exist at that time. since Muslims were ruling that place at that time they could have destroyed them
  • It is a myth that Muslims built mosques by destroying temples. They did neither have the skill nor patience to 'build' anything. Mohammad did not 'build' Kaba, he just acquired and sacked it! * Mohammedans’ religious vandalism started from the beginning of Islam in Pagan Arabia with Qaba, spreading to East mainly in Hinnd (India) & to West in Turkey (Istanbul), Egypt & Spain-Portugal. * A mosque does not need much ‘building construction’, just ‘hacking out’ of an open space! It would be obviously a very illogical and wasteful endeavour for any of Mohammedan conqueror-by-force to pull down the whole temple and waste time 're-building' it using the same material; as it would have been much simpler and straightforward to plunder the gold and other ornaments of the temple’s sanctum-sanctorum, level it into a court-yard, or make it into a washing-pond; and you have a mosque! 100s of mosques so fashioned out –not ‘built’— by pillaging existing temples, or cathedrals bear testimony to this religious vandalism by Mohammedans. Examples: Qa’ba, Hagia Sophia (Istanbul), Marttand-Kashmir, Taj Rajput-mahal, ‘Babri-Ram-Temple-mosque, Ayodhya, Mathura, Kashi & 100s of temples in Hinnd (India). Starting with Bhadresvar, Dhruv-stambha-Jain Temple called Qutub in present-day, Jaunpur, Kanauj, Ahmedabad, Sirkej, Butwa, Mandu, Dhar, Gaur, Kalburga, Gwalior, Futtehpur Sikri, Adhai-din-ka-Zompra, Ajmer & so on. The British created and perpetrated the myth of ‘taking down and re-arranging’ temples because they hated Hindu architects to give their due credit! “The celebrated mosque at Canouge is undoubtedly a Jaina temple… another mosque at Dhar, …without doubt, …of a Jaina temple, …Jaunpur, many other mosques at Ahmedabad and elsewhere show the same system of ‘taking down and re-arranging’** the materials on a different plan(!!!)” James Fergusson: “History of Indian & Eastern Architecture”, [1876 Ed.] p 501). The trecherous and ungrateful English forgot that in fact, it would require enormously more skill, craftmanship and engineering-architecture to create LEGO-blocks of sculpted stone that could be ‘taken down and re-arranged’ into a bland, boring mosque for the blind faithful!
  • The British created and perpetrated the myth of "building" by ‘taking down and re-arranging’ temples because they hated Hindu architects to give their due credit! This ludicrous idea of ‘pulling down a temple and “re-building” a mosque by ‘re-arranging the same material’ was conceived and perpetuated by gullible-and-cunning “experts” on Architecture of the ‘Imperial British’, who had dynamited marble bath tubs from palaces --and had once put ‘Taj Mahal’ on auction at a reserve price of Rs 1.25 lakh --to be ‘broken down and quarried away to Europe by the successful bidder’! Lucky for Hinnd --& for World Architectural Heritage-- that there was no bidder. “The celebrated mosque at Canouge is undoubtedly a Jaina temple… another mosque at Dhar, …without doubt, …of a Jaina temple, …Jaunpur, many other mosques at Ahmedabad and elsewhere show the same system of ‘taking down and re-arranging’** the materials on a different plan (!*!)” James Fergusson: “History of Indian & Eastern Architecture”, [1876 Ed.] p 501). (!*!)Unlike intricate temples, mosques don’t have a plan, its just a wall supposed to face (but actually block the distant vision of) Mecca! The vandalized-temple-Mosques in India face due West, & not Mecca, proving the plan’ was not changed! In his book “History of Indian… Architecture” Fergusson has gone to great trouble to deny Hindus the credit of their Architecture, design and sculpture, sympathetically awarding credit to their Semitic-brother Moslems from whom the English East India Company had stolen the “Raj”! He makes ludicrous claims like, Mohammedans “dismantled Hindu temples and re-erected --like Lego bricks.” * The treacherous and ungrateful English forgot that in fact, it would require enormously more craftsmanship and engineering-architectural skill to create ‘LEGO-blocks of sculpted stone’ that could be ‘taken down and re-arranged’ into a bland, boring mosque for the blind faithful! What a prodigious skill the Hindu architects-stonemasons-sculptors-builders must have-- they all fitted perfectly!
