Bhoja was the King of Kannauj in the late 8th century CE.

After killing his father, Bhoja ascended the throne with the favour and support of Dunduka's subjects and high officials.

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]
