	The '''~~Prithviraja invasion of the Chandelas~~ (1182)''', also known as the '''~~Chahamana raid on Jejakabhukti~~ (1182)''', was a military expedition undertaken by [[Prithviraj Chauhan III]] against the [[Chandel Empire\|Chandela Empire]] in 1182 CE, during the reign of [[Paramardi Varman]]. The Chahamana forces raided and plundered Chandela territory as far as [[Madanapur]]. However, they failed to defeat Paramardi, establish permanent control over Madanapura, or capture the Chandela capital of [[Kalinjar Fort\|Kalanjara]]. Paramardi subsequently recovered the lost territory after repelling Prithviraja III and his forces. Later bardic works, particularly the ''[[Prithviraj Raso]]'' and the ''[[Alha-Khand]]'', recount a Chahamana victory over Paramardi in the Battle of Mahoba. However, this narrative is not corroborated by Prithviraj's contemporary records, which make no mention of Paramardi's defeat or flight from the battlefield.

The '''Chahamana raid on Jejakabhukti''', then the country of the [[Chandel Empire]], took place in 1182. The Chahamana ruler Prithviraja III ([[Prithviraj Chauhan]]) led a campaign into Chandela territory, and looted it up to Madanpur city.

			==Bardic fictions==
			According to the medieval ballads, Prithviraj was returning to [[Delhi]] after marrying the daughter of Padamsen. During this journey, he was attacked by Turkic forces ([[Ghurid dynasty\|Ghurids]]). The Chauhan army managed to repulse the attacks, but suffered serious casualties in the process. They lost their way, and arrived in the Chandela capital [[Mahoba]]. The Chauhan force, which had a number of wounded soldiers among them, unknowingly set up a camp in the Chandela royal garden. They killed the keeper of the garden for objecting to their presence. When Paramardi learned about this, he sent some soldiers to counter the Chauhan force. The Chandelas suffered heavy losses in the ensuing conflict. Paramardi then decided to send another force led by his general [[Udal of Mahoba\|Udal]] against Prithviraj. Udal advised against this proposal, arguing that it would not be appropriate to attack wounded soldiers or to antagonize a powerful king like Prithviraj. However, Paramardi was under the influence of his brother-in-law Mahil Parihar (Pratihara), who secretly harboured ill-will against the Chandelas. Mahil instigated Paramardi to go ahead with the attack plan. The Chandela force led by Udal then launched a second attack against the Chauhan army, but was defeated. The situation subsided when Prithviraj left for Delhi.{{sfn\|Sisirkumar Mitra\|1977\|p=121}}

			Unable to bear Mahil Parihar's political scheming, Udal and his brother [[Alha]] left the Chandela court. They took shelter with [[Jaichand]], the [[Gahadavala]] ruler of [[Kannauj]].{{sfn\|Sisirkumar Mitra\|1977\|p=121}} Mahil then sent a secret message to Prithviraj Chauhan, informing him that the best generals of Paramardi had left Mahoba. Instigated by him, Prithviraj set out from Delhi in 1182 CE and marched to the Chandela territory via [[Gwalior]] and [[Bateshwar, Uttar Pradesh\|Bateshwar]]. First, he besieged Sirsagarh, which was held by Malkhan, a cousin of Alha and Udal. Prithviraj tried to win over Malkhan, but Malkhan remained loyal to Paramardi and fought against the invaders. After Malkhan killed eight generals of the invading army, Prithviraj himself took charge of the battle. The Chandelas ultimately lost the battle, and Malkhan was killed.{{sfn\|Sisirkumar Mitra\|1977\|p=122}}

			Prithviraj then started a march towards Mahoba. Facing an imminent defeat, Paramardi and his nobles sought a truce on the advice of his chief queen Malhan Devi. Prithviraj agreed to the truce, but remained encamped on the banks of the [[Betwa River]] in the Chandela territory. The Chandelas, meanwhile, requested Alha and Udal to come back from Kannauj.{{sfn\|Sisirkumar Mitra\|1977\|p=122}} The two brothers were initially hesitant, but agreed to return after their mother appealed them to honour their allegiance to the Chandelas. Jaichand dispatched an army led by his best generals, including two of his own sons, to support the Chandelas. Paramardi himself became nervous, and retreated to the [[Kalanjara]] fort with some of his soldiers. His son Brahmajit, along with Alha and Udal, led the Chandela army against Prithviraj Chauhan. In the ensuing battle, the Chandelas were defeated. Brahmajit, Udal and the two sons of Jaichand were killed in the conflict. After his victory, Prithviraj sacked the Chandela capital of Mahoba.{{sfn\|Sisirkumar Mitra\|1977\|p=123}}
