King Mihir Bhoj or Bhoja I'(836 to 885 CE) was a ruler belonging to the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty.[1] Mihir Bhoja was also known by the name of ‘Adivarah' as he was a devotee of the Hindu God Vishnu.
The word ‘Gurjara’ doesn’t refers to any caste but the region between Gujrat and Rajasthan.[2] Moreover, the 11th century invader Muhammad Ghori has also been called with titles,'Gurjar-naresh' & ‘Gurjaradheesh' in the book Prithviraja-raso of Chand Bardai (Court poet of King Prithviraj Chauhan) only because of the fact that he won some parts of the Gurjara region i.e., the region between present day Gujrat and Rajasthan states of the Indian subcontinent.[3][4] Even at present there is an organisation known as the ‘Gurjar-Gaur Brahmin Sangathan’ of the Gaur Brahmin community of India.[5] Here too the term ‘Gurjar’ only signifies their place of origin and not some caste or tribe. Thus, the term ‘Gurjara’ in the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty is same as the term ‘Maratha’ that was used for the rulers from the parts of Maharashtra state of the Indian subcontinent irrespective of their castes.[6][7]
The descendants of the Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty are still alive and further divided into 4 princely states:
•Nagod State of Madhya Pradesh [1]
(Prince-Kunwar Arunoday Singh Parihar) [Chief state of the Pratihara dynasty][8]
•Khaneti State of Himachal Pradesh [2]
(Prince-Kunwar Gauravchand Singh Parihar)
•Kotkhai State of Himachal Pradesh [3]
(Prince-Thakur Tribhuwan Singh Parihar)
•Jigni State of Madhya Pradesh[9]
(Prince Kunwar Anumit Pratap Singh Parihar)(The rulers of the Jigni State migrated to Rewa ,Madhya Pradesh and founded Mala Jagir)[4][10]
