The reign of Prithviraj Chauhan concluded in which year?
1192 CE
Prithviraj Chauhan (Prithviraj III), the Chahamana ruler of Ajmer and Delhi, was defeated by Muhammad Ghori in the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192 CE. This defeat ended his reign and effectively opened North India to Turkish rule.
Why the other years are wrong: 1175 CE is around the time Ghori began his Indian campaigns (capture of Multan), not the end of Prithviraj's rule. In 1206 CE Qutb-ud-din Aibak founded the Delhi Sultanate (and Muhammad Ghori died), well after Prithviraj. 1210 CE is associated with the death of Qutb-ud-din Aibak, not with Prithviraj Chauhan.
Hence, the answer is 1192 CE.
