Bhojshala

The Bhojshala (IAST: Bhojaśālā, sometimes Bhoj Shala, meaning 'Hall of Bhoja') is an historic building located in Dhar, 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 term Bhojashala became linked to the building in the early 20th century; the architectural parts of the structure itself are of different periods but mainly date the 12th century, with the Islamic tombs in the campus added between the 14th and 15th century.
