Bhopal, May 17 -- Members of the Bhoj Utsav Samiti and a large number of Hindu devotees carried the statue of Maa Vagdevi (Goddess Saraswati) on their heads and placed it inside the Bhojshala amidst chanting of prayers at sunrise on Sunday. They initiated the regular worship rituals at the site, which the MP High Court has officially declared to be a Hindu Temple.
Before that, the sanctum sanctorum and the entire Bhojshala premises were sanctified with Ganga water and cow urine.
After the statue was religiously placed, it was garlanded and also purified. The eternal flame (akhand Jyoti) was also ignited and placed in the sanctum sanctorum. Prayers continued, and the Maha Aarti was conducted at around 11.45 AM.
All the events were carried...
