The heroic tales of Prithviraj's valour reached the ears of Sanyogita, the daughter of king (JAYACHAND) But before love could flourish, the relationship between Jayachand and Prithviraj Chauhan was strained.
They fall in love with each other after watching each other's painting.
Jayachand decided a swayamvar for his daughter.He sent an invite to all except PRC. just to insult,he got a statue of PRC made it as a doorman.But Sanyogita had already given her heart to him.she wrote him a letter to mry him. PRC promised her that he would come to the swayamvara
On the day of the swayamvara , Sanyogita walked past all the kings rejecting everyone, n finally reaching the statue. PRC then came out and Sanyogita put the garland around his neck.PRC then openly challenged Jayachand to stop him from taking his wife.This made JAYACHAND insulted
1000s of soldiers laid their lives to make sure that PRC escaped safely from Kannauj, with his newly-wedded wife Sanyogita.
Jayachand wanted to take revenge. So, he formed an alliance with GHORI(PRC defeated him 16 times), and extended his support to Ghori's army to attack Delhi.
When Ghori's army attacked this time, Prithiviraj lost the war and Ghori captured him.

Chauhan was defeated, but he refused to bow his head in front of the Sultan. So, Ghori's soldiers blinded him, using hot iron rods.
Seeing his king helpless n in pain, "Bardai"- the court poet- who had been helping PRC in the war, tricked the Sultan into organising an archery performance by PRC. An archery competition was held and Bardai told his blind king about the exact place where the Sultan was standing.
When Ghori ordered the blind king to shoot, PRC took aim based on Bardai's hints and shot the arrow at him. He didn't miss his target , and Ghori was killed.

The court-poet then killed Prithviraj and himself to avoid further humiliation at the hands of Ghori's soldiers.
