Prithviraj Chauhan
1166 CE–1192 CE · Ajmer
Prithviraj Chauhan (Prithviraja III, reigned c. 1177-1192) was a king of the Chahamana (Chauhan) dynasty who ruled from Ajmer and Delhi in northwestern India. He is remembered for repelling the invading forces of Muhammad of Ghor at the First Battle of Tarain in 1191, but was defeated and killed after the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192. His defeat opened northern India to lasting Muslim rule under the Delhi Sultanate, and his life later became the subject of the epic poem Prithviraj Raso.
