Bhojavarman (reigned c. 1285-1288 CE) was a king of the
Bhojavarman succeeded Viravarman, whose last inscription is dated 1342 VS (1285-86 CE).[1] As of 2003, six inscriptions from Bhojavarman's reign have been discovered: five at Ajaigarh (undated, 1343, 1344, 1345, 1346 VS); and one at Iashwarmau (1344 VS).[2]
The available inscriptions do not provide much information about Bhojavaraman's reign.
Based on the inscriptions and the information available about his successors, it appears that Bhojavarman retained control of the important Chandela cities including Ajaigarh,
