Prithviraj Chauhan

Prithviraj Chauhan, the Rajput ruler from Chauhan dynasty to sit on the throne of Delhi, is the son of Someshwar Chauhan, King of Ajmer. Proficient in military skills, he succeeds to the throne of Ajmer at the age of thirteen after his father dies in a battle. His mother's father Anangpal Tomar, ruler of Delhi, declares him his heir after discovering his courage and bravery. Chauhan falls in love with Sanyogita (Samyukta), the daughter of his enemy Jaichand of Kannauj, abducting her at her swayamvara, the day when a father chooses a husband for his daughter from eligible suitors.
