According to the Rajput bards the
Chauhan is one of the four Agnikula or ‘fire sprung’ , who were created by the
gods in the anali kund or ’fountain of fire’ on Mount Abu to fight
against the Asuras or demons. Chauhan is also one of the 36 (royal) ruling
races of the Rajputs. Chauhan dynasty flourished from the 8th to 12th centuries
AD. It was one of the four main Rajput dynasties of that era, the others being
Pratiharas, Paramaras and Chalukyas. The Chauhans dominated Delhi, Ajmer,
Ranthambhor. They were also prominent at Sirohi in the south- west of
Rajputana, and at Bundi and Kotain the east. Inscriptions also associate them
with Sambhar, the salt lake area in the Amber (later Jaipur) district. Chauhan
politics were largely campaigns against the Chalukyas and the invading Muslim
hordes. In the 11th century they founded the city of Ajayameru (Ajmer) in the
southern part of their kingdom, and in the 12th century captured Dhilika (the
ancient name of Delhi) from the Tomaras and annexed some of their territory
along the Yamuna River. Prithviraj III has become famous in folk tales and
historical literature as the Chauhan king of Delhi who resisted the Muslim
attack in the first Battle of TARAIN (1191). Armies from other Rajput
kingdoms, including Mewar assisted him. However, Prithviraj was defeated in a
second battle at Tarain the following year. This failure ushered in Muslim rule
in North India in the form of the SLAVE
DYNASTY, the first of the Delhi Sultanates.
