Prithviraj Chauhan was the last Hindu king to sit upon the throne of Delhi which was India's capital.Qila Rai Pithora in Delhi is named after him. After his defeat in 1192 AD at the second Battle of Tarain Delhi came under the control of the Muslim rulers. One of the slaves of Muhammad Ghori, Qutubuddin Aibak found new dynasty known as slave dynasty in 1206 CE. Delhi continued to be under the control of Muslim rulers until the British period. The only exception to this was Hemu,who managed to sit on the throne of Delhi for a few days after Humayun's death. Before to this event Akbar succeeded Humayun.Hemu was defeated by Akbar in 1556 AD. Prithviraj was one of the most interesting and powerful characters of Indian history. Even today his name is associated with the virtues of Rajput valour, chivalry and patriotism. His bravery on the battlefield was unmatched and he was known to be virtuous and principled until his death.
The Warrior King as he was popularly known, fell in love with his enemy's daughter - Sanyogitaand mahrukh..,......e off with her on the day of her swayamvar before the watchful eye of her father.
His story highlights all the important aspects of life: duty, bravery, patriotism, friendship, family and romance.
Prithviraj was born to his parents after 10 years of long prayer. Although he grew up to be a very naughty boy, he was the sharpest of all the princes. He often surprised everyone by his profound thoughts on subjects beyond his young age. He loved his parents very much and also respected Jai Chandra, Nayantra and Anangpal II. Everybody in turn, loved him. As a child, he was indeed the Balkrishna, and as he grew up, he reflected the different faces of Lord Krishna: Murlidhar, Chhaliya, Chakradhar. He and his friend Chander (Chandbardai) shared a friendship almost alike that of Lord Krishna & Sudama. In his youth, he defeated many enemies but always allowed room for forgiveness. He never fought in anger or for personal gain but only performed the duty of a king.

need to investigate thoroughly coz, prithvirajs mothers name is karpuravalli not kamladevi
[edit] His Childhood
At gurukul , Prithviraj learnt shastra vidya (weaponry, armed combat), sahitya (literature), kala (arts) and rajniti shastra (politics).It was here that he learned the art of"shaabd bhedi baan chalaana" that is hittitng a target without seeing the target, that is only on the basis of sound. It was here that he was groomed to be the King of Ajmer. One day at the gurukul, young Prithviraj was attacked by a lion. Though caught unawares and unarmed, Prithviraj bravely fought the lion and killed it! Tales of his heroism spreading far & wide.
With the stories of Prithviraj's courage, valour and intelligence spreading far and wide, Anangpal the King of Delhi decided to adopt him. He announced Prithviraj Chauhan as his heir. Thus he was crowned prince of Delhi at the young age of 13 years.
Prithviraj at the age of 13 killed Bheemdev Solanki, the king of Gujarat, who betrayed his father Someshwar Chauhan.
He had 4 best friends : Sanjam, Chandar, Pundir, and Arjun
while killing bhm dev prithvi prithvi saw a cool girl means her immpulsive beauty squezed prithvi towards her after killing him he talkedf to her she was m.mahrukh
[edit] His Immortal Love
After becoming the king of Ajmer, Prithviraj heard the court poet describe the unmatched beauty of a lady. Immensely impressed, he soon found out that the beauty described was Sanyogita, the daughter of the Jai Chandra, King of Kannauj. He disguised himself and went to see her. They had met before on the yatra to Koteshwar Mandir. At that time, Prithviraj disguised himself as Surya and princess Sanyogita under the name of Nandini. Though whenever they met, a fight used to always used to break out between them. Their relationship was like mahrukh and daniel.
Meanwhile Sanyogita too had heard the tales of Prithviraj's courage and valour and was smitten. When she finally saw an attractive painting of Prithviraj Chauhan, she knew in her heart that she would marry him. She met the King in disguise and they fell in like.
Suspecting the relationship between the two of them, Jaichand decided to organize a swayamvara in all pomp and splendour for his daughter. He called many princes worthy of his daughter, from all across the country. However Prithviraj wasn't invited. Jaichand despised Prithviraj as the latter had been chosen by Anangpal to be the heir to the throne of Delhi.[citation needed]: So, to humiliate Prithviraj, Jaichand erected his statue, dressed and bent as a dwaarpal at the gateway to the swayamvar. However, at the time of the swayamvar, Sanyogita passed by all the eligible princes and finally garlanded Prithviraj's statue.after it mahrukh was a girl who came from Gujrat mugrakhsht loved her bu tshe loved prithvi so she tried to presuriza saynogita if prithvi will not marry her then she will kill prithvi by his brother daniel.so prithvi married her thinking that she was sanyogita after kanuuj incident.prithvi's second wife was mahrukh. truth was only known to muhammad ghauri or ghori when prithvi was dying he said him my wife mahrukh .i want you to marry her.
[edit] Muhammad Ghori
According to SufiLore ,Prithviraj behaved haughtily with Moinuddin Chishti . Moinuddin Chishti cursed him and is reported to said "We have given the keys of Hind to someone else - the latter being Muhammad Ghori. While this drama was being enacted, a Muhammad, hailing from Ghor in present-day Afghanistan, grew increasingly powerful. He captured Ghazni and subsequently defeated the Ghaznavid governor of Punjab. Muhammad Ghori's domain now touched upon that of Prithviraj Chauhan. A clash was inevitable.
First Battle of Tarain (1191 CE): Muhammad Ghori invaded Prithviraj's domains and laid siege to the fortress of Bhatinda in Punjab, which was at the frontier between the two kingdoms. Prithviraj's appeal for help from his father-in-law was scornfully rejected by the haughty Jaichandra. Undaunted, Prithviraj marched on Bhatinda and gave battle to the invaders at a place called Tarain (also called Taraori) near the town of Thanesar.
In face of the Rajput onslaught, the invading Muslim army broke ranks and fled, leaving their leader, Muhammad Ghori, a prisoner in Prithviraj's hands. Muhammad Ghori was brought in chains to Pithoragarh, Prithviraj's capital. He begged his captor for mercy and release. Prithviraj's ministers advised against pardoning the aggressor. However, the chivalrous and valiant Prithviraj thought otherwise and respectfully released the vanquished Ghori.
Second Battle of Tarain (1192 CE): The very next year, Ghori repaid Prithviraj's gesture by again invading Prithviraj's kingdom with a stronger army. Again, the two armies met at Tarain. The Hindus followed a traditional practice of battling only between sunrise and sunset.This practise was based upon great epics and ethics in their civilized society.The Ramayana and the Mahabharata support this practise. Ghori attacked the surprised Rajput army before daybreak and thus emerged victorious. The defeated Prithviraj was pursued up to his capital. At the point when annihilation became certain, Sanyogita committed Jauhar {suicide} for self-immolation rather than face the prospect of personal dishonour at the hands of a barbaric invader. Prithviraj was taken in chains to Ghor in present-day Afghanistan.
Monumental Mistake: Prithviraj kept on forgiving Gouri for 16 times and when on the 17th occasion Mohd. Gouri won the battle, he gouged out the eyes of Prithviraj.
[edit] Captivity, revenge and death
As a prisoner in Ghor, Prithviraj was brought in chains before Muhammad Ghori.he saw hi swife mahrukh there. He haughtily looked Ghori straight into the eye. Ghori ordered him to lower his eyes, whereupon a Prithviraj scornfully reminded him of how he had treated Ghori when the latter was a prisoner. He declared that the eye of a Rajput are lowered only in death. On hearing this,Ghori ordered that his eyes to be burnt with red hot iron rods. The heinous deed was committed. The blind prithvi was then brought to the presence of the barbaric warlord to be taunted by Ghori and his courtiers.
Prithviraj's former courtier Chand Bardai, who was later to compose the Prithviraj Raso, a ballad-biography of Pritiviraj, came to Ghori to be near Prithviraj in his misery. Chand Bardai came in disguise and paens. On one hand, he earned Mahmud's regard; on the other, he took every oprportunity to meet with Prithviraj and urge him to avenge Ghori's betrayal and daily insults.[citation needed]: The two got an opportunity to kill Muhammad Ghori when Ghori announced an archery competition. Chand Bardai told Ghori that Prithviraj was so skilled an archer, that he could take aim based only on sound, and did not even need to look at his target. Ghori disdained to believe this; the courtiers guffawed and taunted Chand Bardai, asking how a blind man could possibly shoot arrows. In the spirit of their usual barbaric mockery, they brought the blind and hapless Prithviraj out to the field. Pressing a bow and arrows into his hand, they taunted him to take aim.
Chand Bardai told Ghori that this taunting would avail nothing, for Prithviraj would never do as some sundry courtiers bade him do. He said that Prithviraj, as an anointed king, would not accept orders from anyone other than another king. His ego thus massaged, and in the spirit of the occasion, Mahmud Ghori agreed to personally give Prithviraj the order to shoot.Some iron plates were hung and Prithiviraj was asked to aim at them.A man was to strike the plate with a hammer and Prithviraj was supposed to hit that plate.
Thus, Chand Bardai provided Prithviraj with an aural indication of where Ghori was seated. He gave Prithviraj one further indication of the same, by composing a couplet on the spot and reciting the same in Prithviraj's hearing. The couplet, composed in a language understood only by Prithviraj went thus:
"Char bans, chaubis gaj, angul ashta praman,Ta upar sultan hai, Chuke mat Chauhan."
(Four measures ahead of you and twenty four yards away as measured with eight finger measurement, is seated the Sultan. Do not miss him now, Chauhan).
Ghori then ordered Prithviraj to shoot. Prithviraj thus came to know the location of Ghori and started shooting at the plates.When he hit the target courtiers said "vah" "vah" and Ghori said "Shabash", recognising Ghori's voice and turning in the direction from where he heard Ghori speak, Prithviraj took aim based only on the voice and on Chand Bardai's couplet, he sent an arrow racing to Ghori's throat. Ghori was thus stuck dead by Prithviraj. Prithviraj and Chandar did not want to die from the hands of Ghori's courtiers so they stabbed each other.
The Warrior King as he was popularly known, fell in love with his enemy's daughter - Sanyogitaand mahrukh..,......e off with her on the day of her swayamvar before the watchful eye of her father.
