Bhojshala Dispute: Hindu Devotees Gather for Maha Aarti; Muslims Protest Court Ruling

Hundreds of Hindu devotees gathered at the disputed Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Complex in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, for a "maha aarti" after the High Court declared it a temple. Muslims protested by offering Friday prayers at home while wearing black bands. The court had overturned an earlier order allowing Muslim worship at the site. Hindu groups organized religious programs amid heavy security. Muslim leaders expressed dissatisfaction and filed a Supreme Court petition challenging the ruling.
