Prithviraj Chauhan (epic)

Prithiviraj Chauhan (Nepali: पृथ्वीराज चौहान) is a Nepali-language epic (mahakavya) by Mahakavi Laxmi Prasad Devkota.

It is estimated that Devkota wrote this epic in 1946 when he was a lecturer at Tri-Chandra College.

According to copyeditor, Devkota had planned to write the 15th canto but did not and he copied the manuscript as it was.

The publishing house itself took care of the situation and realigned the epic into 21 cantos.

The epic was written to illustrate the medieval Indian feudal society.
