Vijayrao Lanjo was a Bhati Rajput emperor of 12th century in the Indian subcontinent.
He ruled a large empire and was known as the "uttara disi bhad kivaad", due to his control over forts and settlements that extended from Ghazni to Gujarat, leading to several conflicts with the invading Muslim tribes.[1] According to epigraphic evidence, Vijayarao Lanjo took the large title of "Parambhattaraka Maharajadhiraja Parameshwara" .[2] He married the daughter of King Jayasimha Siddharaja of the Chaulukya dynasty, and their son, Bhojde, succeeded his father in 1143.[3] However, Bhojde's uncle Jaisal Singh colluded with the Ghaznavid chiefs, and Bhojde was killed in the resulting combat. Following Bhojde's death, Jaisal became the head of Bhatis.[4]
Vijayrao Lanjo has been also referred to as Vijayrao II, and sometimes as Bijai Raj II, He was son of Rawal Dusaj of Lodhruva and a Mewar princess and was placed on throne in preference to his two elder brothers including Jaisal.
