Bhoja was the King of Kannauj in the late 8th century CE.
His parents were Dunduka and Padma, Dunduka's queen.[1][2] Dunduka made several futile attempts to kill Bhoja.[2] Later, Bhoja killed Dunduka for the throne in his royal court.[1][2]
After killing his father, Bhoja ascended the throne with the favour and support of Dunduka's subjects and high officials.[1][2] Bhoja, like his father Dunduka and grandfather Āma, became a parama Jaina. He fought off an invasion by an invading Muslim army. He either retired as a king after a short rule, or his kingdom was annexed by the Ayudhas, who established a new dynasty,[3] or he was deposed by the Pratiharas.[1][2]
