For the first time in 23 years, namaz will not be offered at Dhar's Bhojshala following a high court order declaring it a Saraswati temple. The ruling ends a 2003 arrangement dividing worship days between communities. Heavy security is in place as Hindu organizations plan a Maha Aarti, while authorities warn against unauthorized events and inflammatory social media posts.
