'''Bali-rāja''' (r. c. 986-990 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the [[Chahamanas of Naddula|Naddula Chahamana dynasty]]. He ruled the area around [[Naddula]] (present-day Nadol in [[Rajasthan]]). He was involved in a conflict with the [[Paramara]] king [[Vakpati Munja|Munja]], with both sides claiming victory.<br />

== Reign ==<br />
<br />
Baliraja was the son of his predecessor [[Shobhita]].{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=239}}<br />
<br />
The Chahamana-[[Paramara]] conflict that had started during his father's reign continued during his rule.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=239}} According to the [[Sundha Mata Temple|Sundha Hill]] inscription of his descendant, he defeated the Paramara king [[Vakpati Munja|Munja]]. On the other hand, the Paramara court poet Parimala suggests that Munja was successful in this campaign. According to Parimala, Munja also defeated the [[Gurjaradesa|Gurjara]] ruler, who had to take shelter with the ruler of Maru. Here, the Gurjara ruler can be identified with the [[Chaulukya]] king [[Mularaja]]. The identity of the ruler of Maru ([[Marwar]]) is not certain, but he was most probably Baliraja.{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=122}}<br />
<br />
Baliraja seems to have died heirless, as he was succeeded by his paternal uncle [[Vigrahapala (Chahamana dynasty)|Vigrahapala]].{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=239}}<br />
