In 1178, the Battle of Kasahrada, sometimes called the Battle of Kayadara or the Battle of Gadararaghatta, took place in the present-day Kasahrada in the Sirohi district of Rajasthan, close to Mount Abu. It was fought between the invading Ghurid armies under Muhammad of Ghor and the Hindu Rajput Confederacy under Mularaja II of the Chaulukya dynasty of Gujarat. The Ghurid forces were decisively destroyed. Multan and Uch were taken from the Carmathian kings in 1175 when Muhammad of Ghor crossed the Indus River via the Gumal Pass rather than the Khyber Pass. Muhammad concentrated on areas that bordered the middle and lower stream of the Indus Valley during these raids rather than directly confronting the Ghaznawids in Punjab. To counter the advancing Ghurid army, the Chaulukyas, led by their stripling monarch Mularaja II and their feudatories from Naddula, Jalor, and Abu, raised a strong army. Muhammad of Ghor continued to march across lower Sindh and the Gumal Pass in order to enter the northern Chaulukya region through western Rajasthan. Muhammad desecrated the Shiva idol in Kiradu and sacked Nadol before arriving at the battleground on Mount Abu. In his Prithviraja Vijaya, the Kashmiri historian Jayanka, who lived in the 12th century, said that the Turks had to drink the blood of their own horses because they were so thirsty after marching through the desert by the time they arrived at the Chahamana kingdom. The combined army of Chaulukya feudatories, led by Paramara ruler Dharavarsha of Abu, Chahamana ruler Kelhana of Nadol, and his brother Kirtipala from Jalor, faced the Ghurid army at the base of Mount Abu. Prabandha Kosha claims that Dharavarsha allowed the Ghurid army to enter the pass and cut off the retreat of the enemy behind them. The Chauhans of Nadol and Jalore, as well as the main Chaulukya force, faced the Ghurids. The Ghurid army was decisively destroyed with massive carnage following a bloody battle. After suffering injuries during combat, Muhammad fled the battlefield and eventually made it to Ghazna after a difficult flight. Mularaja is highly praised for this victory by Gujarati chroniclers and later Chaulukya (Solanki) inscriptions. Mularaja smashed the mlechchha (foreign) army and vanquished the lord of the Turushkas (Turkic people), according to the poet Someshvara. Despite being a baby, Mularaja conquered the Mlechchha king, according to Balachandra. In Sukrita-Kirti-Kallolini, Udayaprabha Suri claims that Naikidevi provided Mularaja with an army to play with. Mularaja fought the Hammira, the Sanskrit name for Emir, and his Mlechchha army with this force.
