a witness to an interesting past. The city was founded by Raja Ajai
Pal Chauhan in the 7th century A.D. and continued to be a major
centre of Chauhan power. When Prithviraj Chauhan lost it to Mohammed
Ghauri leaving behind indelible marks of their culture and traditions
on the cities history, converting it to an amalgam of various cultures
and a blend of Hinduism and Islam.
