Explanation

Dhara (modern Dhar in Madhya Pradesh) was the greatest center of Sanskrit learning in 11th century central India under the Paramara dynasty, particularly during Bhoja's reign (c. 1010-1055 CE). Bhoja himself was a renowned scholar who authored 84 books. While Ujjain was a traditional center of learning, Dhara eclipsed it during this period. The court at Dhara attracted scholars from across India.
