Dhar Bhojshala

The Bhojshala is a historic building located in the city of Dhar, in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. The name is derived from the celebrated king Bhoja of the Paramāra dynasty of central India, a patron of education and the arts, to whom major Sanskrit works on poetics, yoga and architecture are attributed. The architectural parts of the building proper are of different periods but mainly date to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; the Islamic domed tombs in the wider campus were added between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The monument was repaired under the Powars of Dhār and more extensively by the Archaeological Survey of India over the last five decades.
