Madhya Pradesh High Court allows ASI survey at Bhojshala temple in Dhar

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has granted permission for an ASI survey at the Bhojshala Temple-Kamaal Maula Mosque complex in Dhar.

The 15th-century dargah of Sufi saint Kamaal-ud-din Malawi in Dhar in Madhya Pradesh, and the 14th-century mosque beside it are at the centre of a century-long dispute, with Hindus claiming the complex as the 'Bhojshala' of the legendary Raja Bhoj. The dispute has been magnified since the 1990s alongside communal politics taking deeper roots in the Malwa region.
