Bhojpur is a medieval Indian site on the Betwa river near Bhopal.
-
The town was founded by King Bhoja (1010-1055 CE) of the Parmara Rajputs. Moreover, he constructed three large dams and a Shiva temple called Bhojeswar temple on a hill.
-
The dams were built to contain the water from the rivers and rivulets into a reservoir.
-
The first dam was on the Betwa river, which collected water in a depression formed by surrounding hills.
-
-
The third dam was built on the Kaliasot river in Bhopal, which too was established by king Bhoja to augment the water levels in the Betwa dam reservoir.
-
However, the dams were breached in the 15th century after Hoshang Shah emptied the reservoir.
-
-
-
Other notable site features include the Parvati cave and king Bhoja’s palace.
