The Chauhan was a clan of the Rajputs. They are said to have ruled from 700A.D upto 1200AD. The founder of this dynasty was Vasudeva.
Prithvi Raj Chauhan was the last hindu ruler,after him the Muslim kings could successfully invade India because of disunity among the Indian states. He belonged to the Chahamana dynasty and was born in 1168 to the royal family-king Someshwar and Karpuradevi after 10 years of long prayer. Someshwar was the king of Ajmer. He was put to death by his enemy king Bheemdev-the king of Gujarat. It was then; Prithvi succeeded the throne in 1179. Then he was just 13, a minor. His mother Karpuradevi was a very canny lady. She scrupulously and very sagaciously gave proper directions and guidance for the healthy functioning of the kingdom.
Prithviraj Chauhan ruled from the twin capital of Delhi and Ajmer. His kingdom included much of present day Indian states of Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. He defeated the Chandelas and conquered the territory of Bundelkhand. He extended his boundary by conquests and by ceaseless military campaigns.
Prithviraj Chauhan’s life can be called a chain of brave and glorious deeds which brought everyone under his awe. He brought Ajmer to a premier power which made other rulers to conspire against him. It brought ill-feelings between Jaichand-The Gahadvala king, who was also the father of the princess Sanyogita who was Prithviraj’s ladylove. Prithvi can also be called an epitome of kindness who would forgive his enemies on many occasions and set them free by generously granting them life instead of punishing them. He was very well known for his archery (shabd-bhedi baan vidya). He was a chivalrous and an extremely fearless king. To this date he is known as a legendary hero and the tales of his brave deeds are spread widely
