Bhojshala Gates Closed, Heavy Security Remains Deployed At The Site

A day after the Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that Bhojshala in Dhar district was a temple of Goddess Saraswati, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on Saturday granted the Hindus an unrestricted access to the monument for worship and other purposes. As Bhojshala was a centre of learning and research on Sanskrit language, grammar and literature besides being a temple, the Hindu community shall have an unrestricted access to the complex "in connection with the ancient practice of learning and worship of Goddess Saraswati," an official said quoting the ASI order.
