  • The Battle of Chandawar occurred in 1194 CE between Muhammad Ghori and Jayachandra of Kannauj. This battle followed Ghori's victory over Prithviraj Chauhan.
  • Jayachandra, a Gahadavala king, faced Ghori's advancing forces near Chandawar, present-day Firozabad. Ghori's decisive victory in this battle extended his control over the Gangetic plains, weakening Rajput power and paving the way for further Muslim conquests in India.
