Bhoj Shala
The Bhojaśālā or 'Hall of Bhoja' is the centre for Sanskrit studies and temple of Sarasvatī, the goddess of learning associated with king Bhoja, the most celebrated ruler of the Paramāra dynasty in central India. The term first came into use in the early twentieth century.
==Bhoja's reputation==
There can be little doubt that king Bhoja, who ruled between ''circa'' 1000 and 1055, was an exceptional ruler by medieval standards. Tradition has ascribed a large number of works on philosophy, astronomy, medicine, yoga, architecture and other subjects to Bhoja, the most extensive in the field of poetics being the highly influential ''Śṛṅgaraprakāśa''.〔Venkatarama Raghavan, ''Bhoja’s Śṛṅgaraprakāśa'', 3rd rev. ed. (Madras, 1940).〕 Bhoja also began the temple at Bhojpur, near Bhopāl. If completed, the temple would have been twice the size of those at Khajuraho. Bhoja enjoyed a high reputation among his immediate successors with king Arjunavarman (''circa'' 1210-15) claiming that he was a reincarnation of Bhoja himself.〔E. Hultzsch, ‘Dhar Prasasti of Arjunavarman: Parijatamanjari-Natika by Mandana’, ''Epigraphica Indica'' 8 (1905-06): 96-122.〕 Medieval histories give some idea of his character and ambitions, notably Merutuṅga's ''Prabandhacintāmaṇi'', completed in the early years of the fourteenth century.〔C. H. Tawney, ''The Prabandhacintāmaṇi or Wishing-stone of Narratives'' (Calcutta, 1901)〕 Post-medieval narratives, such Ballāla’s ''Bhojaprabandha'', composed at Benares in the 17th century,〔Louis H. Gray, ''The Narrative of Bhoja (Bhojaprabandha)'', American Oriental Series, vol. 34 (New Haven, 1950).〕 extolled Bhoja's greatness, a tradition that was picked up in the mid-20th century as India began to search for indigenous cultural heroes. In the words of K. K. Munshi, '... during Bhoja’s rule civilization in Mālwā had risen to a magnificent pitch. Our appreciation of Bhoja for having portrayed a faithful picture of the most glorious period of medieval Indian History (the ''Śṛṅgāramañjarīkathā'' ) is heightened when we take into consideration that he worked and stood for all that was glorious in Hindu Culture’.〔K. K. Munshi, ed. ''Śṛṅgāramañjarīkathā'', Siṅghī Jaina granthamālā, no. 30 (Bombay, 1959): 90.〕 As a consequence, any site or object connected with Bhoja has great cultural potency and is intimately connected with modern Hindu identity.〔See, for example, Bhoj Shala - Ek Sangharsa Gatha on youtube.〕
