One of the most famous stories about Raja Bhoj and Gangu Teli is the story of the magic ring. In this story, Gangu Teli finds a magic ring that grants the wearer anything he desires. He uses the ring to become wealthy and powerful, but he soon becomes arrogant and greedy. Raja Bhoj, who is aware of Gangu Teli's newfound power, decides to test his intelligence. He disguises himself as a beggar and approaches Gangu Teli, asking for alms. Gangu Teli refuses to give him anything, but Raja Bhoj insists. Finally, Gangu Teli agrees to give Raja Bhoj a single grain of rice. Raja Bhoj takes the grain of rice and places it in his mouth. As soon as he does, the magic ring slips out of Gangu Teli's finger and flies into Raja Bhoj's mouth. Raja Bhoj swallows the ring and becomes the new owner of the magic power.
Raja Bhoj and Gangu Teli also feature prominently in the popular 16th century play, "Bhakta Prahlad." In this play, Gangu Teli is depicted as a loyal devotee of Lord Vishnu, while Raja Bhoj is portrayed as a cruel and tyrannical king. The play tells the story of how Gangu Teli's devotion to Lord Vishnu saves him from Raja Bhoj's wrath.
The stories of Raja Bhoj and Gangu Teli have been told and retold for centuries in India. They are a reminder that even the most powerful people can be defeated by the intelligence and cunning of others.
