What Hindus call Bhojshala in Dhar is called Kamal Maula Masjid by the Muslim community. The Hindu side says that Raja Bhoj had built a temple of Maa Saraswati here. The Hindu side claims that the idol of Maa Saraswati is now in a museum in London. The Hindu side says that the Muslims broke the temple of Bhojshala and occupied it and declared it to be a mosque. Even today, as per the rules, Hindus are allowed by the ASI to offer prayers on Tuesdays and Muslims to offer namaz on Fridays in Bhojshala. The special thing is that the government website of Dhar district also states that Bhojshala was earlier a temple of Maa Saraswati. At the same time, the Muslim community, citing the Places of Worship Act, claims that its original form cannot be changed under this law. Now it remains to be seen what decision the Madhya Pradesh High Court gives after the survey report of the ASI. However, it is certain that a long legal battle is going to be fought between the Hindu and Muslim sides in the case of Bhojshala.
