Bhopal, March 11, 2024: The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Monday directed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to conduct a scientific survey of the disputed Bhojshala Temple cum Kamal Maula Mosque complex in Dhar.
Previously, the ASI carried out a scientific survey of the disputed Gyanvapi Mosque complex.
Bhojshala is an ASI-protected monument, revered by Hindus as a temple of Goddess Vagdevi (Saraswati), while the Muslim community regards it as Kamal Maula Mosque.
According to an ASI order issued on April 7, 2003, Hindus are permitted to worship inside the Bhojshala complex every Tuesday, while Muslims are allowed to offer namaz at the site every Friday.
