'''Bhoja II''' was a 13th-century king of the [[Paramara dynasty]] in central India. He succeeded [[Arjunavarman II|Arjuna II]] as the king of [[Dhar]]a in [[Malwa]] region.<br />
<br />
According to ''[[Hammira Mahakavya]]'', written by the Jain poet Nayachandra Suri, the [[Chahamanas of Ranastambhapura|Chahmana]] ruler [[Hammiradeva|Hammira]] defeated Arjuna of Sarasapura and Bhoja of Dhara. Based on this, [[R. C. Majumdar]] concluded that Hammira must have invaded Malwa twice: once during the reign of Arjuna II, and again, during the reign of Bhoja II.{{sfn|Majumdar|1966|pp=85-86}} Because Hammira ascended the Chauhan throne during 1282-83, Bhoja must have ascended the Paramara throne sometime after 1283 CE.{{sfn|Sastri|1970|p=828}}<br />
<br />
Pratipal Bhatia, on the other hand, speculates that Arjuna II's minister Goga-deva rebelled against him, and put Bhoja II on the throne of Dhara as a titular king. The 16th-century historian [[Firishta]] describes Goga as the "Raja of Malwa". According to Bhatia's theory, Goga-deva became the ''de facto'' independent ruler of one part of the Paramara kingdom, while Arjuna II continued to control another part.{{sfn|Bhatia|1970|p=160}}<br />
<br />
Bhoja II was succeeded by [[Mahlakadeva]].{{sfn|Majumdar|1966|pp=853}}<br />
