'''Pajawan''' or '''Pajjun''' was a 12th century ruler of [[Dhundhar]] with his capital at [[Amber, India]]. He belongs to the [[Kachhwaha]] clan who migrated to [[Rajputana]] in the 12th century.{{sfn|Jadunath Sarkar|1994|pp=24-25}} He was married to [[Prithviraj Chauhan]]'s cousin. He was prominent and trusted general of Prithviraj.

According to the ''[[Prithviraj Raso]]'', Pajawan played a role in battles at Hansi and Nagour, fighting alongside Prithviraj Chauhan, who subsequently appointed Pajawan as governor of Mahoba.

He also helped Prithviraj in defeating [[Bhima II|Bhimdev]], a Solanki king of [[Gujarat]].{{sfn|Jadunath Sarkar|1994|pp=25}}

In 1185 Raja [[Jaichand of Kannauj]] organised [[Swayamvara]] of his daughter [[Sanyogita]]. All prominent kings and princes were invited in this ceremony but he deliberately avoided Prithviraj Chauhan. Furthermore, he placed an earthen statue of Prithviraj at the entrance of the venue, posing him to be doorman. Prithviraj got information about it. He arrived at Kannauj in disguise together with his trusted generals. Pajawan was also with him. When Sanyogita chose Prithviraj as her would be husband by placing garland on the statue of Prithviraj, he took her with him on a horse and escaped. Pursuing forces of Jaichand got engaged with Pajawan in a fierce battle. He fought for the victorious army in [[First Battle of Tarain]]. However he soon died after the battle. The poet [[Chand Bardai]] called him bravest of the allies of Chauhan.{{sfn|Jadunath Sarkar|1994|pp=26}}

He was succeeded by his eldest son named as Malesi in 1191 A.D, Malesi too died in [[Second Battle of Tarain]] leading the Last stand against the [[Ghurids]].{{sfn|Jadunath Sarkar|1960|pp=37}}
