The Siege of Kalinjar was a military expedition of Ghurid Empire under the command of Qutb-ud-din Aibak against the Chandelas of Jejakabhukti that commenced in 1203 during which the Ghurids successfully captured Kalinjar after besieging it.[1][2][3] The Ghurid forces defeated Chandelas and the Chandela ruler Paramardi surrendered Kalinjar to Ghurids.[4][5][6][7][8]
Background[edit]
Kalinjar was the political capital of Chandelas of Jejakabhukti.[9] It was invaded by Prithviraj Chauhan of Chauhan Dynasty in 1183.[10] After the death of Prithviraj after second battle of Tarain, Chandelas regained their superiority over Kalinjar. Chandela was ruled by Paramardi, the last major King of Chandelas.[11]
Qutb-uddin Aibak led his expedition towards Kalinjar in 1202–1203. He defeated Chandela forces and occupied Kalinjar. Paramardi surrendered and promised to pay tribute but died before executing his agreements.[12][3]
