On Friday, Hindu devotees at the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula complex in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, India, celebrated their first prayers following a landmark ruling by the Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The court recognized the site as a temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, marking a significant shift in religious practices at the historically disputed site. Previously, the Muslim community held Friday prayers there, but the recent ruling has barred such practices. Sumit Chaudhary, General Secretary of the Bhoj Utsav Committee, noted the excitement among Hindu worshippers, who expressed gratitude for the court's decision, allowing uninterrupted worship. The High Court also quashed a 2003 arrangement that allowed Muslim prayers and directed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to manage the temple's administration. In response, the Muslim community has challenged the ruling in the Supreme Court, seeking a stay on the order. The court has also suggested that the state government consider providing land for a mosque for the Muslim community in Dhar.
