Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, came into existence in the 11th century between 1000 and 1055.
The illustrious scholar king Bhoj of the Parmara dynasty constructed two beautiful lakes.
He then established his capital city around them and named it Bhojpal after himself.
This Bhojpal is now known as Bhopal.
Gradually the Parmaras declined in power. Consequently, the city was ransacked several times and finally faded away into obscurity.
