couple of trivia reg. bhojarAja paramAr. he commissioned the construction of a massive temple compound, which could have rivaled the magnificent choLa temples of south, if it were to be completed. It included an enormous shiva-li~Nga of about 22 ft height carved off a single rock. However, the temple construction did not complete (for whatever reason - have seen various reasons). The unfinished structure lies a few KMs outside the city of Bhopal.
bhojashAlA complex was another magnifiscence of bhoja. This was dedicated to Saraswati Devi. ravaging gazi-s destroyed it and constructed a mosque over it, and a mosque today stands there. (under congress rule, regular namaaz had also re-started, which stopped after Uma Bharati regime. Today it is under ASI control)
whatever be the story behind the hindi proverb, "kahaan raaja bhoj, kahaan gangoo telee", this makes bhoj immortal to every hindi-speaker. (-> 'What comparision of Raja Bhoj awith Gangu the oil-seller!') His empire attained tremendous wealth, security and happiness under him. He also wanted to start a new Hindu calendar like Vikramaditya or Shalivahana.
