The Archaeology Society of India conducted a study and an excavation to ascertain the type of structure was beneath the rubble. The summary of the ASI report [2] indicated definite proof of a Hindu temple under the mosque. In the words of ASI researches they stated "discovery of distinctive features associated with... temples of north India". The excavations yielded

if there was mandir, beneath the mosque may be rama wanted the mosque to built there. so it was babri masjid there. all hindus should realise that it is because of loard. otherwise hindus tried to demolish babri masjid and still could not built mandir even when they had power in there hands. hence the real story is lord wants masjid to be there.

That's not a convincing argument. In that case, maybe the demolition was also the will of God.

MR Prem then please go ahead and built Ram Mandir let the peace prevail Allow Muslims to build a Mandir and Hindus to build a Masjid I hope then there will be no fight left but politicing the issue is no good well there are many example of mandirs and masjid side by side and still peace prevail its here in Mumbai at Dadar Kaboortan khana. Build the Mandir but after that still Muslims in india will be called as terrorist, traitors, etc etc why hatred for a particular community. We have nothing against anybody but let peace prevail and mot everyone needs is not a mandir or a masjid but a shelter, proper food education and a secured job

Actually, there was once a Ram temple sharing a wall with the Babri Masjid. Here is some information that may be of help:
"According to the District Gazetteer Faizabad 1905, it is said that "up to this time (1855), both the Hindus and Muslims used to worship in the same building. But since the Mutiny (1857), an outer enclosure has been put up in front of the Masjid and the Hindus forbidden access to the inner yard, make the offerings on a platform (chabootra), which they have raised in the outer one."
As for peace, please understand that peace is a precious commodity and everyone is responsible for it.
