Dhar: The ASI survey at Bhojshala in Dhar continues, with the count having crossed ninety-three days now. A five-member team from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), along with 34 labourers, arrived at Bhojshala at 8:00 AM to proceed with their various activities. Preventive measures have been taken, with the police paying much attention to the process to avoid any hitches. It is being done infront of both Hindu and Muslim petitioners so that nobody feels that they are being favoured or discriminated against.
On Friday, June 21st, two new artefacts were found during the survey conducted by the team. When the labourers were tearing through the soil, someone stumbled upon two stones, both of which were accompanied by the Sanatani symbol. ASI official Gopal Sharma confirmed that he had recently seen stones and other similar items in the northeastern corner of the area, where the workers are digging the soil away.
While endorsing the passage, Sharma recalled that the two new artefacts were discovered adjacent to the site where a statue of Lord Krishna was dug up the previous day. The team has come across more than 1,100 artefacts listed in different sizes and importance within the last three months of the excavation exercise. The conclusion of this study, therefore, acknowledges that Bhojshala is historically rich and has benefited from this study through the collection of a wealth of information about its past.
The current survey at Bhojshala is also a step in a continuous process linked to unveiling the history and cultural heritage of India. Some of the findings that have been unearthed are statues and carvings and anything that was left behind that gave a clear picture of the cultural and religious practices of the place. All the pieces are described and compared in detail to uncover the role of each artefact and its cultural background.
The mag survey involved both Hindus and Muslims, which implicitly testifys to the cultural value of the site for both religious groups. Stakeholders’ cooperation is employed in this context to make the survey as impartial as possible and ensure the results are accustoming to all individuals.
ASI does not allow any harm to the notion of archaic remnants or artefacts by following a strict process of excavation and soil removal by following contemporary archaeological procedures as a world-class method.
