The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Monday ordered the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) to conduct within six weeks a survey of the Bhojshala Temple cum Kamal Maula Mosque complex in Madhya Pradesh’s Dhar district, observing that its nature and character needs to be “demystified and freed from the shackles of confusion”.
For Hindus, the ASI-protected complex is a temple dedicated to the Goddess Vagdevi (Saraswati), while for Muslims, it is the site of the Kamal Maula Mosque. As per an arrangement in 2003, Hindus perform puja at the complex on Tuesdays while Muslims offer namaz on Fridays.
