Varanasi, which is just 200 km from Ayodhya, has now taken the centre stage in national news as the controversy involving the Gyanvapi shrine complex is stoking the religious sentiments of both the Hindu and Muslim communities in India.

Here's all you need to know about the places of worship act. Take a look.
