The first Battle of Tarain was fought between Sultan Mohammad Ghori and Prithviraj Chauhan in the year 1191 at Tarain in Haryana. The army of Mohammad Ghori was defeated by the Rajput army of Chauhan.

Prithviraj Chauhan was the ruler of Delhi and Aimer. He was a very brave and courageous ruler. He also knew as Rai Pithora. At that time Mohammad Ghori had established his control over Bhatinda. Hearing the news Prithviraj Chauhan marched towards Bhatinda in order to check the advancing steps of Muhammad Ghori along with powerful army. After that a fierce battle was fought in the field of Tarain about 23 Kilometers away from Thaneshwar. Several Rajput rulers helped Prithviraj Chauhan during this battle but Gaharwal ruler, Jaichand of Kannauj, was the only Rajput who did not help him on this occasion. During the course of war, Goving Chandra, a brother of Prithviraj Chauhan lost his two teeth but in return he made a several blow on Ghori and wounded him. Owing to excessive bleeding Muhammad Ghori was on the verge of falling down from the horse when a Khalji soldier came to his rescue and carried him safe out of the battle field. As soon as the sultan was removed from the battle field the Muslim army was discouraged and fled. Prithviraj Chauhan recovered the fort of Bhatinda and defeated the Muslim.
