This lithograph, titled "Prithviraj," published by Hemchander Bhargava, portrays Prithviraj Chauhan, one of the most legendary Rajput rulers of India. He is depicted standing with folded hands, dressed in traditional royal attire and carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows on his shoulder, symbolizing his warrior spirit.

Prithviraj Chauhan (c. 1166–1192 CE) was a brave and skilled ruler of the Chahamana (Chauhan) dynasty, known for his resistance against invasions. He famously defeated Muhammad Ghori in the First Battle of Tarain (1191 CE) but was later captured and executed after his defeat in the Second Battle of Tarain (1192 CE). His legacy is immortalized in Rajput folklore and historical texts, particularly in the epic Prithviraj Raso, which celebrates his valor, romance, and tragic fate.
