During Akbar's reign Raja Todarmal built a temple dedicated to Viswanath at Gyanvapi, but this too, met the fate of its predecessor at the hands of Aurangjeb

The charge against Akbar by the Sirhindi type of hardliners is that he allowed temple construction while he was the ruler of hindustan. I guess his great-grandson made amends by turning the Gyan Vapi temple into a mosque.
