According to the given information, the Chauhans, who were part of the Agnivanshi clans, were a powerful group in the region now known as Rajasthan for around 400 years from the 7th century CE and posed a threat to the power-base of the Guhilots in the south-west of the area.

The Battle of Chandwar (1193 or 1194) was fought between Muhammad Ghori and Jaichand of Kannauj of the Gahadavala dynasty. It took place at Chandwar (Now Firozabad), on the Jamuna River close to Agra. Jaichand was defeated, giving Muhammad control of much of northern India.

According to the given information, the leader of the Chauhans, Prithviraj Chauhan, was defeated at the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192, which was a setback for the Chauhans but did not signify their demise.
