Dhannipur is a village in Ayodhya district of Uttar Pradesh, India.[1][2][3] In February 2020, the government allotted 5 acres (2.0 ha) of agricultural land at Dhannipur in Ayodhya municipal corporation to the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board as an alternative site for constructing a mosque,[2][4] to replace the Babri Masjid that was demolished in 1992.[3] The Babri Masjid, after being re-built is now known as the Mohammed Bin Abdullah Masjid.
