Answer 1

Hint:Vanraj Chadva was the most significant emperor of the Chavda kingdom. He was responsible for founding and establishing the ancient fortified city of Patan. It was also the capital of Gujarat in the medieval times.

Complete answer:
It is a famous fact that Prithiviraj Chauhan lost to muhhamad Ghori and after that he establishes his sultanate in Delhi. But a lot of people are still unaware about another interesting fact that Muhammad Ghori himself was deafeated by a Goa born princess.

King Ajayapala was a Solanki king, his dynasty was also called Chalukyas of Gujarat. He ruled Patan for a short span of four years. He was married to Naikidevi, who was the daughter of Kadamba ruler Mahamandalesvara Permadi of Goa. After Naidevi got widowed she took charge of her husband’s empire and served as the ruling queen since her son was still a very young child.

Even though her rule was for a short period of time yet she managed to do something that others could not and made history. She is the woman responsible for defeating Muhammad Ghosi and sending his army back.

As the daughter of the Kadamba ruler Naikidevi was very well trained in battling and military techniques. Unflinched by the possibility of Ghori's unavoidable assault, she took control of the Chalukyan power and hurled herself entirely into getting sorted out an all around arranged resistance to the attacking armed force.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Note: Probably the hardest lady throughout the entire existence of India, Naiki Devi's unflagging fearlessness and unyielding soul are at standard with the incredible Rani Laxmi Bai of Jhansi, Rani Tarabai of the Marathas and Rani Chennamma of Kittur. However, a very little exposure is provided towards her incredible story in the history books and mainstream media. It is time this changed.
