Prithviraj ruled Delhi and Ajmer.
First battle: Mohammad Ghori won and covered the fortress of Bhatinda in East Punjab. Prithvraj went to Bhatinda and fought with Ghori at Tarain, in this battle Prithviraj won against Mohammad Ghori.
Second battle: Ghori wanted to win, that's why he came with 120000 men. That time Prithviraj had 300000 men and 3000 elephants. But Ghori attacked very well. Then, Prithviraj was captured and put to death by Ghori.
Prithvraj Chauhan had loved Samyuktha. She is the daughter of Prithviraj's enemy, Jaichand. Jaichand ruled the Kannauj Empire. He was from the Gaharwar dynasty.
