Why did the dispute reach the Supreme Court?

The Bhojshala in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, is an ASI-protected monument. The Hindu side considers it a temple of Goddess Saraswati.

It also houses the tomb of Maulana Kamaluddin, where the Muslim community offers prayers.

In the 18th century, the British government conducted excavations here, during which an idol of Goddess Saraswati was found. The British took this idol to London, where it remains in the London Museum today.

Efforts are underway to bring back this idol of Goddess Saraswati. Both sides claim ownership of this monument.

According to the order issued by the ASI, the Hindu side is allowed to perform puja in the Bhojshala complex every Tuesday, and Muslims are allowed to offer prayers in the Bhojshala complex every Friday.

This year, Basant Panchami falls on a Friday. ​​Therefore, the Hindu side has approached the Supreme Court demanding permission to perform Saraswati Puja throughout the day.

Due to the Supreme Court hearing on the Dhar Bhojshala dispute, strict security arrangements have been made in Dhar. More than eight thousand police personnel have been deployed in Dhar. Continuous surveillance is being maintained through CCTV cameras. Police are constantly patrolling various areas. Strict security arrangements have also been made at the Dhar Bhojshala.
