Historically, Prithviraj Chauhan has an image of a fearless and noble warrior whose life is mostly traced from the famous poem, Prithviraj Raso. The poem is written by Chand Bardai in the 16th century in Brajbhasha. Despite being a celebrated hero, not much is known of his life as there are concrete descriptions written down about him. Most of the knowledge about his life comes from later inscriptions derived from various poems. Besides the Muslim accounts of Battles of Tarain, he has been mentioned in several medieval kavya or epic poems by Hindu and Jain authors. These include Prithviraja Vijaya, Hammira Mahakavya, and Prithviraj Raso.
