There is a wave of happiness in the Hindu society after Bhojshala was declared as the temple of Maa Vagdevi i.e. Maa Saraswati. The people of the committee which has been struggling for decades for Bhojshala are calling it the victory of Sanatan and Truth, while the people who have faith in Sanatan are considering it as a blessing of Maa Saraswati that the High Court has declared it as a Hindu temple and Hindus have got the right to worship and are reaching Bhojshala to offer prayers.

This Saturday morning in Dhar was different from the everyday morning, yesterday on Friday, a decision from Indore High Court put an end to the years-long dispute, the High Court, while giving its verdict in the Bhojshala dispute case, declared it as a Hindu temple and the school of Maa Saraswati and accepting the demand of the Hindu side, gave the right to worship to the Hindus and the previous order of ASI in which the right to offer namaz was given, has been completely cancelled. The court accepted ASI’s 98-day scientific report according to which remains of a Hindu temple were present in Bhojshala.

Festive atmosphere, people lit lamps yesterday evening

After this decision was taken, people gathered outside the Bhojshala in Dhar, celebrated with the beats of drums, danced and greeted people by applying gulal and hugging them. In the evening, they lit lamps at their homes and said that for us today is no less than Diwali. When the morning came today, its brightness was different.

Devotees have been reaching Bhojshala since morning for puja.

Long queues of Hindu devotees were formed outside the Bhojshala. People came to worship without hesitation and without any hesitation. They garlanded the idol of Maa Vagdevi (Maa Saraswati), recited Hanuman Chalisa in the meeting, did Rabjan Kirtan and took blessings from Maa Saraswati.
