5 Biography according to Prithviraj Raso According to the epic poem or ballad, Prithviraj was a king, who, after ceaseless military campaigns, extended his original kingdom of (Shakambara) in present-day to cover and eastern. He ruled from his twin capitals of Delhi and Ajmer. His fast rise aroused the envy of the then powerful ruler of, and caused ill-feeling between the two. Svayamvara of Sanyogita(Samyukte) The upcoming of spread far and wide and became the subject of much discussion among the nobility. Sanyogita, daughter of, secretly fell in love with Prithviraj. She met Prithviraj at the temple of Koteshwar. She was disguised as Nandini and Prithvi was disguised as Surya.
He was on a mission to save the temple deity from sabotage by his archrival and king of Gujrat, Bhimdev Solannki. Prithviraj had heard of Sanyogita's unmatched beauty in a poem and decided to meet her in disguise. However, Sanyogita, who had seen a portrait of Prithviraj, could see through his disguise and decided to meet him personally.
She disguised herself to avoid recognition, and hence their secret affair began. Her father got wind of this affair and resolved to have her safely wed at an early date. He arranged a, a Hindu ceremony where a maiden selects a husband from a number of suitors who assemble at the invitation of her guardian. Invited many princes of high rank and heritage, but deliberately did not invite Prithviraj.
To add insult to injury, had a statue of Prithviraj made and placed at the door of the venue, thus parodying Prithviraj as a doorman. Prithviraj came to hear of this. He made his plans and confided them to his lover, Sanyogita. On the day of the ceremony, Sanyogita emerged from an inner chamber, entered the venue of the Swayamvara, and walked straight down the hall past the assembled suitors, reached the door and garlanded the statue of Prithviraj. The assemblage were stunned at this brash act, but more was to follow: Prithviraj, who had been hiding behind the statue in the garb of a doorman, emerged, put Sanyogita upon his horse and the two eloped. This incident resulted in a string of battles between the two kingdoms, and both of them suffered heavily. The - feud led to the weakening of both kingdoms.
Prithviraj was a Hindu ruler and defeated Muhammad Ghori at the. 6 References.

The betrayal and blinding of Prithviraja, and how he avenged his humiliation Plz add any reliable references, it seems this section is written according to popular beliefs. —Preceding comment added by 03:39, 20 June 2010 (UTC) The main authours seem to have exclusive access to a lot of data that is not availiable to anyone else. And they have not quoted any sources. Is there any evidence (apart from the stories circulated by the Sangh Parivar) that Chavhan's army was ambushed at 3 am? Is there any evidence that he was engaged in single combat with an enemy soldier?
And even if he had been drugged with opoium, I do not believe that the entire Delhi army had temporary blindness and did not see what was happening! I think that too much of this article is based on legend. For example, the story of a blind Chauhan killing Ghori by using his applause to guide the arrow in the correct direction. I have heard this story, but since most of the other data suggests otherwise (Chauhan was executed earlier), I am inclined to believe that it is just wishful thinking that became legend. What all authours agree is that Chauhan won the first battle, but I am not sure whether Ghori was captured. I have read reports that he was wounded.
Are there any independent sources that can verify that he was captured? Given the chivalry of the Rajputs, Chauhan might have behaved as the legend states should he have caught Ghori.
I also admit that once Ghori won, he would have erased any records that cast him in a bad light; but still unless there is any evidence, once should not write it in a manner that suggests that it is the truth. Also this talk about heroes and villans: everything depends on the point of view of the authour. One man's hero may be another man's villan. So I request you to edit this. —Preceding comment added by 12:10, 22 July 2010 (UTC) This is an of past discussions.

Moreover the Mother of Nandini or Sanyogita was said to be sister of Prithvi's mother. No where has this been indicated. And as per this Prithvi raj chauhan also starts a debate.on first hindu king to marry within family. Even today marriage amongst blood relations amongst hindu's is not allowed and accepted in society. As for contesting the facts.one can see the Serial being shown on Star Plus where it is clearly shown.both queens or mothers of Prithvi and Sanyogita being sisters.
