Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan (1162-1192 A.D.) ruled from Delhi at a crucial juncture of India's history. Known for his bravery, chivalry and kindness, he has been immortalised in Prithvirajaraso, an epic poem composed by one of his associates Chand Bardai.
The manner in which he wooed and won Sanyogita, daughter of King Jayachandra of Kannauj has made him a romantic hero. The forces of Muhammed Ghuri regrouped themselves and a battle took place at Tarain in 1192, in which Prithviraj Chauhan was defeated and taken prisoner.
