Historians say

The Alamgir Mosque, also called Beni Madhav ka Darera, stands above Panchganga Ghat. It was built under Aurangzeb in the late 17th century on the site of the Bindu Madhav (Vishnu) temple, which multiple accounts say was destroyed in 1673. It is the largest structure on the ghat skyline.
