On Friday, the Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that the Bhojshala Kamal Maula complex in Dhar is a temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, overturning a previous order that allowed Muslim prayers at the site. The court stated that the historical and archaeological evidence supports the existence of a Sanskrit learning center and a temple at this location. The ruling empowers the Centre and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to oversee the administration of the site. Additionally, the court indicated that the Muslim community could request separate land in Dhar for constructing a mosque, should the Maulana Kamaluddin Welfare Society apply for it. Security was heightened in the area, with about 1,200 police personnel deployed to prevent any unrest coinciding with the court's decision. The case involved petitions from Hindu, Muslim, and Jain groups, all claiming rights to worship at the ASI-protected monument. The ASI's survey report, which took 98 days to complete, revealed evidence of a large structure from the Parmar era, supporting Hindu claims of the site's religious identity. However, the Muslim community has contested the findings, alleging bias in the report.
