Bhojshala is one of India’s most historically and culturally significant yet contested heritage sites. Located in the city of Dhar, Bhojshala is believed to have originally been a center of learning and worship established during the reign of King Bhoj of the Paramara dynasty in the 11th century.

Many Hindus regard the site as a temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, while Muslims identify it as the Kamal Maula Mosque, leading to a long-standing religious and legal dispute over its ownership and usage rights.
