If there was a fort, where was the banquet hall? The banquet hall was a mystery. Efforts should be made to find him. We also want him to be found.#BhojshalaControversy #MuslimParty #SurveyQuestions
Actually, Raja Bhoj had built the Bhojshala of Dhar. According to the website of the district administration, it was a university in which the statue of Vagdevi was installed. The Muslim ruler had converted it into a mosque. Its remains can also be seen in the famous Maulana Kamaluddin Mosque. This mosque is situated in the campus of Bhojshala, while the idol of the goddess is kept in the Museum of London.#RajaBhoj #BhojshalaUniversity #MaulanaKamaluddinMosque
In the year 1902, Lord Curzon visited Mandu in Dhar. He had approved spending Rs 50,000 for the maintenance of the banquet hall. A survey was also done then. In 1951, Dhar Bhojshala was declared a national monument. In the notification issued then, Bhojshala and Kamal Maula’s Mosque are mentioned. The petition was filed by Hindu for Justice Trust. Apart from this, six other petitions have also been filed in the past in this matter.
