"Then Masjid, Now Mandir"
Badi Masjid (Big Mosque) of SoniPat, Haryana which was converted into "Durga Mandir" long time ago after partition. Soon the minarets and domes will be vanished.The existence of this structure dates back to the time of partition of India-Pakistan.
As per old aged residents of area nearby, this structure was originally a mosque and was one of the oldest mosque at that time, but because of the partition a major part of muslim population of this area was replaced by Hindu population and that was the time when people starting replacing it by a temple.
