***1150 AD, Ajmer***

Chauhan King Arnoraja was Assassinated by His own son Jagaddeva.

Traitor Jagaddeva was Slain by His Brother Vigraharaj IV, who Ascended the Throne of Ajmer.

These were Tough Times For Chauhan Kingdom, as They had Lost a War against Chaulukyas of Gujrat, Resulting in Loss of Territories.

However, all of that Changed with Vigraharaj IV, aka, "Bisaladeva".

As per His own Inscriptions, His dominions Extended From Foothills of Himalayas in North, upto Vindhyas in South.

Delhi Siwalik Pillar of 9th April 1164 AD Tells Us That Vigraharaj Repeatedly Attacked Muslim Invaders, and Drove Them Out Of Aryavarta.

Getting back to The Ajmer, Vigraharaj Built a Sanskrit Collage and a Saraswati Temple in 1153.

This Collage and Temple were Exactly Same as 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘢 (school) Built By Raja Bhoj in Dhar.

It was Later converted In a Mosque

This Sanskrit Collage Built By Vigraharaj was Broken in 1192 AD, By forces of Mohammad Ghori.

Later in 1199 AD, They Started To Turn This Sanskrit Collage into A Mosque.

It took them More than 15 Years to do so.

During Its Renovation in 1875-76 AD, 4 Inscriptions written In Sanskrit and Prakrit Were Found.

First 2 Inscriptions Tell us That King Vigraharaj Constructed This Collage and Temple.

Other 2 Inscriptions tell us about 2 sanskrit Plays Written by Vigraharaj Himself.

Although, Invaders Tried to Turn it into a Mosque as Best As they could, There still Remains Enough Evidence of It being a Hindu Monument.

But where does the Name "𝘈𝘥𝘩𝘢𝘪 𝘋𝘪𝘯 𝘒𝘢 𝘑𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘥𝘢" Comes From?

In Latter half of 18th Century, Moslem Fakirs Started Celebrating Urs of Their Leader Panjaba Shah, which lasted for 2 and a half Days.
