ASI survey continues for 18th day in Dhar's historic Bhojshala

Dhar, 08 April (HS). On the orders of the Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court, the survey of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) department in the historical Bhojshala of Dhar continued for the 18th day on Monday. The team of 19 officers from Delhi and Bhopal along with 33 laborers reached the Bhojshala premises at 8 in the morning and came out at 5 in the evening. During this period, the team worked for about nine hours using modern equipment using scientific methods. Gopal Sharma, Ashish Goyal from the Hindu side and Abdul Samad Khan from the Muslim side were also present with the survey team.

On Monday, the work of removing soil near the Havan Kund in the sanctum sanctorum was done in Bhojshala. Brushing of stones was done inside the banquet hall and photographs were taken after removing soil from around it. The survey team has identified 14 potholes in Bhojshala. Excavation work continued at seven of these places. Besides, Akal Kuiya situated near Bhojshala complex was also measured.

After the completion of the 18th day of survey, Hindu party Gopal Sharma told the media that today is the 18th day of the survey and the work is in progress. In due course of time we are going to reach a decisive role. The objectives for which this petition was filed will prove fruitful. The survey team has measured Akal Kuiya. Certainly this is the Saraswati well established by Akal Kuiya Raja Bhoj. It is mentioned in the book named Charu Charya written by Raja Bhoj that during Aryaavrat, Saraswati wells were established by invoking at seven places, wherever there were Gurukuls. In order to enhance the knowledge of the students and sharpen their intellect, they were made to consume this water, which sharpened their intellect. Knowledge increased and memory remained good.

Hindu party Gopal Sharma said that more teams were deployed around Akal Kuiya located near Bhojshala complex. A survey was conducted there. The team members also got inside. He told that the old people have seen that the Saraswati well is in captivity in its present condition. Its path passed between two domes. Seven feet below, there are 14 angular Akal Kuiyas, which are currently called Akal Kuiyas. In reality it was known as Patalganga Saraswati Roop. Used to go down through stairs. Used to enter it from the south side. So there is a figure of Lord Ganesha on the north wall. This was mentioned by Hari Bhau Wakan Kar in his book.

It is noteworthy that after 718 years, on this day in 2003, the locks of Bhojshala were opened for Hindus. Alauddin Khilji attacked here in 1305, since then worship was stopped, but after a long struggle, Hindus got the right to worship on 08 April 2003. tomorrow is Tuesday. Therefore, people of Hindu community will worship from sunrise to sunset.

If there is a temple then give it to us and if there is a mosque then give it to them.

Regarding the application in the court by the Muslim side demanding a ban on the survey, Gopal Sharma said that this is their bigotry. This is their mentality, only the one who doesn’t have wealth stops. We ourselves went for survey that if there is a temple then it should be given to us and if there is a mosque then it should be given to them. Certainly the truth will come out, just as the truth of Ayodhya, Mathura, Kashi has come out. The title of the banquet hall will also change. Bhojshala was known as Sharda Sadan and Saraswati Kanthabharan. It will regain its pride after this survey.
