Samrat Prithviraj is a Story from 1192 CE in Ghazni, Afghanistan Prithviraj is captured by Muhammad Ghori who forces him to fight against three lions. A blinded Prithviraj is able to kill all of them but faints due to weakness.
The story then shifts back a few years before in Kannauj where princess Sanyogita, Jayachand’s daughter is in love with Prithviraj Chauhan who is ruling Ajmer. In Ajmer, Prithviraj is approached by Mir Hossain who is the brother of Ghori. Ghori and Hossain were brothers, but a rift occurred between them because Hossain ran with Chitralekha, a dancer in Ghori’s kingdom, as both loved each other. Prithviraj ensures Hossain that he will help him and takes him into his kingdom.

He also sends an invitation to Prithviraj, asking for 50 percent control over Delhi, which Prithviraj rejects.
