One of his Nobles suggested that a person should wait and engage Jaichand's forces. Prithviraj was very close to Delhi when the hills were slowing down his army.
A fierce battle followed in which Jaichand's trusted general Mir Bandan died. Jaichands huge army quickly surrounded Prithviraj's army. When Jaichand saw this he got ready for a battle. As soon as she put the garland Prithviraj rode a horse and took Samyogita. When the swayamwar took place Samyogita was expecting Prithviraj to be present there but when she saw his statue on the gate she put the garland around the neck of Prithviraj's Statue. He also preponed the swayamwar and he placed a statue of Prithviraj as a guard at the gate of the palace to humiliate Prithviraj. He was suspicious and said his guards to keep an eye on the betel leaf carrier. The next day Jaichand visited them and he was very impressed by the personality of the betel leaf carrier. After several days they reached Kannauj, and Jaichand gave them a warm welcome. When Prithviraj got the news of the swayamwar he asked his trusted friend to go to the swayamwar and he said that he will be disguised as his beetle carrier.
But Jaichand didn't know that his daughter, Samyogita, was deeply in love with Prithviraj without even seeing him. Jaichand was planing a swayamwar for his daughter on the day of the yagna. Jaichand thought that he should attack Delhi but he postponed the plan because the date of the yagna was very near. Every king who received the message agreed to rule under Raja Jaichand except Prithviraj Chauhan. He sent a message to every kingdom in Northern India to rule under his control. At the same time, Kannuaj was ruled by, Raja Jaichand who was planning to do a Rajyasuya Yagna to establish his control all over Northern India.
He ascended the throne of Delhi in 1179 after the death of his father in a battle with Bhima II, of Gujarat. He was born to Raja Someshwara Chauhan and Rani Kapuradevi. Raja Prithviraj Chauhan was born in the year 1149 in Gujarat.
