New Delhi:
The disupted Bhojshala Temple-Kamal Maula Mosque Complex in Dhar is a temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, declared the Madhya Pradesh High Court on Friday, ruling in favour of the Hindu petitioners.
In its verdict, the bench of Justices Vijay Kumar Shukla and Justice Alok Awasthi observed that there were indications of a Sanskrit teaching centre and a temple of Goddess Saraswati in Bhojshala.
"We have noted continuity of Hindu worship at the site here has never been extinguished. We record findings that historical literature places establish the character of the dispute area was Bhojshala as centre of Sanskrit learning associated with Raja Bhoj of parmar dynasty," the court said.
The court urged the Muslim community to approach the state government for allotment of separate land in the district for construction of a mosque.
