It happened on one of those very frequent trip to my home town Bhopal , i went there for my mom's birthday celebration. Few of my realtives had come ...so as it happens always we went for some sight seeing around the city. Although i had been to almost all the places around my city but recently a very nice statue of a great king called Raja Bhoja was put up in Upper Lake of Bhopal . The statue is very sweet and nicely made .....though the king was short heighted but was well maintained with six packs :).......
He is the same king which many people have already heard of as the famous idiom "kahan Raja Bhoja and kahan Gangu teli".
I came to know an interesting fact which i never knew......it is believed that the big lake called Upper lake in bhopal was built by him but no concrete proofs exist which proves the same. The formation of Upper Lake also called Bada Talab is a geographical phenomena and no proof is available which proves it is was made by Raja Bhoja
It really may not matter to the people of bhopal wheather the lake was constructd by him or not ....then also his statute stands tall besides the lake and is a part of cities very rich heritage.
Found the visit an enriching and fun experience.
