The High Court had on May 15 ordered that the disputed Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque complex was a temple dedicated to Goddess Vagdevi (Saraswati).
Religious ceremonies began at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday. The rituals were led by Vedic priests with sacred fire offerings as well as elaborate prayers amid chanting of ancient mantras.
The Hindus consider the ASI protected 11th century monument a temple dedicated to Vagdevi (Goddess Saraswati) while the Muslims regard it the ‘Maulana Kamal Maula Mosque’.
