H.R. Neville, the editor of the Faizabad District Gazetteer in 1870, wrote that the Janmasthan temple "was destroyed by Babur and replaced by a mosque".  He also wrote "The Janmasthan was in Ramkot and marked the "Birthplace of Lord Rama". In 1528 A.D. Babur came to Ayodhya and stayed here for a week's time. He destroyed the ancient Ram temple and on its place built a mosque, still known as Babur's mosque. The materials of the old structure i.e., the temple were largely employed, and many of the columns were in good preservation."Like this there are a number of different pieces of evidence are mentioned by different writers with irrespective of time.
