This lithograph, titled "Maharaj Prithvi Raj Jeevan Parichay," published by Hemchander Bhargava, illustrates the life of King Prithviraj Chauhan, one of the last great Rajput rulers of Delhi.

At the center is the Delhi Durbar, symbolizing his power and authority. Surrounding it are key moments from his reign, including his battles with Mohammad Gauri, the iron pillar, and a temple linked to his rule. The Qutub Minar is also depicted, referencing the legend that his daughter viewed the Yamuna River from its top. A striking scene of Prithviraj slaying Mohammad Gauri with a spear highlights his bravery and warrior spirit.

Prithviraj Chauhan (c. 1166–1192 CE) was the Rajput king of the Chahamana (Chauhan) dynasty, ruling over Delhi and Ajmer. Renowned for his military prowess, chivalry, and poetry, he bravely resisted the Ghurid invasions. Despite defeating Mohammad Gauri at the First Battle of Tarain (1191 CE), he was later captured and executed after the Second Battle of Tarain (1192 CE), marking the beginning of Muslim rule in North India. His legendary tale is immortalized in Prithviraj Raso, a historical epic celebrating his heroism and tragic fate.
