Anangpal
Anangpal is the King of Delhi. He is the most powerful ruler of his time, loved and respected by all. He has 2 daughters Kamladevi and Roopsundari. He holds the great warriors Someshwar and Vijaypal in high esteem, and gladly gives his daughters in marriage to them. He is a considerate father and father-in-law. Unfortunately, he does not have an heir. This great King always tries to maintain friendly ties between Jaichand and Someshwar. Showing great foresight, he alerts them about the Yavan invaders and often helps the other rulers. An important historical figure, King Anangpal appears as a father figure in the story of Prithviraj.
Vijaypal
Vijaypal, the King of Kannauj, is a great warrior. He is resolute, profound and sensible, yet he is a sensitive and loving person. In pancham veda "natyashaashtra" such a character is called "deeroddaatt nayak." He loves his wife Roopsundari and shares an ideal relationship with her. He cares for Someshwar and Kamladevi, the King and Queen of Ajmer and prays that they have an heir. He voluntarily joins Someshwar in war and assures Kamladevi that he'll bring her husband back safe. In an attempt to fulfill his promise, the brave King sacrifices himself. He asks Someshwar to vow to care for his son Jaichand when he is no more.
Roopsundari
Roopsundari, the Queen of Kannauj, is the perfect match for Vijaypal. As the elder sister, she is stronger than Kamladevi and often provides emotional support to her younger sister. When she sadly loses her husband in the war, she refuses to commit Sati. With all the grace of a true Queen, she decides to live only for their son, Jaichand, and for the kingdom of Kannauj. She has the traditional saali-n-jeeja relationship with Someshvar. She is also confident of the relationship that her husband had developed with the Chauhan dynasty. She often suspects Jaimal's feelings for Ajmer, but is also convinced that they will have to depend on him and his experience, to handle the problems Kannauj might face. She realizes that although her son Jaichand has most of the characteristics of his father, he is still young, inexperienced and often overemotional.
Jaimal
(No pics are avaible)
Jaimal is actually the only antagonist in the story. This feeling of animosity arises because he feels that he was unjustifiably deprived of the throne of Kannauj and given the tiny State of Khokhandpur in its place. He is a shrewd man whose strong ambition makes him stay in Kannauj, far away from his own State of Khokhandpur. He doesn't budge from his goal even if he is insulted. Always plotting a conspiracy, he ruins Jaichand's life as a result of his bad advice. Changing colours like a chameleon, he stays true to his motto-"raajneeti kisi ki sagi nahi hoti." He is a sharp, astute man who doesn't hesitate to kill even his own man, Mahipat, who came between him and his ambition. He rests easy with the knowledge that he can't easily be thrown away from Kannauj.
Jaichand
Jaichand is an extraordinarily courageous warrior who begins ruling Kannauj at the young age of 13. However, he is very stubborn and can be easily ill advised, especially by Jaimal. He loves Someshvar, Kamladevi and Prithvi very much, but Jaimal often poisons his ears. He sometimes guesses that Jaimal has some ill feeling about Ajmer but is unable to recognize the root of these feelings. Besides, he feels that giving the throne of Delhi to Prithviraj instead of him was an unjust decision.
Someshwar
Someshwar is a great king and warrior. He is also a very religious man. He is a fighter, but he often gets caught in situations that create conflicts. He cares for Kamladevi, Prithvi, Vijaypal, Roopsundari and Jaichand. He is ready to die for his friend, Vijaypal, in the battlefield, but destiny decides otherwise. Someshwar supports his wife Kamladevi who is emotionally weaker than her sister, Roopsundari. He respects his father-in-law, Anangpal, never hesitating to fall at his feet and always at his service.
Kamladevi
The youngest daughter of King Anangpal, Kamladevi is a pampered child. She isn't as strong as her elder sister, Roopsundari and is an insecure woman. She feels guilty for she is unable to give an heir to the kingdom for ten years. She is however a god-fearing and a loving woman. Prithvi is the apple of her eye and she is very concerned for him. Her husband Someshwar too loves her very much. Roopsundari is a mother figure to her. She represents an Indian wife and mother capable of rising up to the situation.
Prithviraj
Prithviraj is born to his parents after 10 years of long prayer. Although he grows to be a very naughty boy, he is the sharpest of all the princes. He often surprises everyone by his profound thoughts on subjects beyond his young age. He loves his parents very much and also respects Jaichand, Nayantra and Anangpal. Everybody in turn, loves him. As a child, he is indeed the Balkrishna, and as he grows up, he reflects the different faces of Lord Krishna-Murlidhar, Chhaliya, Chakradhar. He and his friend Chander share an equation almost like that of Krishna & Sudama. In his youth, he defeats many enemies but always allows room for kshama or forgiveness. This shows that he never fights in anger or for personal gain, but only performs the duty of a king.
Sanyogita
Sanyogita is the beautiful daughter of the King of Kannauj, Jaichand. She is a pampered and protected girl. Tales of her beauty had spread far. On hearing the tales of Prithviraj's valour and courage, she falls in love with him without even seeing him. Her love for him is so strong that she defies her beloved father's wishes and chooses to run away with him. On the day of her swayamwar, she refuses to choose any of the princes present and instead openly declares her love by garlanding Prithviraj's statute kept at the door by her father. Soon, Prithviraj himself appears and they elope. Their love story was immortalized through songs and poems.
