Bhoja was a medieval Indian king who ruled 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 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]
