No shruthi, according to Prithviraj raso n Prithviraj vijay, he had only one wife n that was sanyogitha. 😳 These two books were written at the time of prithvi so it is reliable. Moreover, the rajput kings usually had only one wife during those days.
Only after those muslim rulers came to india, it became a fashion to have more than one wife. And the book which says he had seven wives was Prithviraj ke abhyan. As i said this book was written during the muslim rule during which those stupid kings made it a fashion to have more than one wife. 😡

ok i like this explanation better 👏

i would like to correct you on just one front, it may have become more common to marry many wives after the muslim rulers came into India, but this custom was not entirely absent before they came in either!

During the bronze age, or the age of the Ramayana (long before 1100 AD) King Dasharath had three wives. Now I know its difficult to dwelve into history to prove this point. However, this serial Prithvi Raj Chauhan is entirely based only upon the poems written by Chand Bardai. He wrote this in praise of his king. I would say the poetic versions are definitelty a more glorified picture. Current historians have a different picture to paint according to what happened at that time. Infact there was an uproar a couple of years back when they wanted to change the facts about PRC in CBSE textbooks!

Anyway, I dont want to go deep into facts etc.. but I would not think it uncommon for PRC to have had 7 wives at all. It is however said that sanyogita (otherwise known as padmavati) was his favourite and last wife.

However, I am only attracted to the story of PRC written in the Raso and considering it a lovely folklore would love to see the serial and what happens henceforth...Just like how the bhagwat - stories of Krishna are not entirely what would have transpired in those days and a lot of praise/glory/incidents are added by poets and writers in praise of their Lords/masters as time passes by. (A simple example of this is that there are so many versions of Ramayan belonging to different states/languages and all of them are different)

However, we still enjoy seeing the movies and stories of Lord Krishna/Ram today and thats how Prithviraso would be too!

hey who read prithviraj rasi here. please tell us the story. 😃

i don't think that he wouid be having seven wives b'coz rajputs respect women's alot and so they marry once for ex-Someshwar

The way they r showing it seems like for PRC it is only & only Sanyo. 😉 😛
So kaun banegi PRC ki patni....Sanyogitha 😆 ..... 👏 👏

tummo main to tumhari list mai hoo hi nahi
very bad 😭

A valid point....Let me also search for the infos..

I agree with u, that hindu mythology contains instances of men marrying more than once. however it was considered to be very uncommen. If u r a hindu, u might know, a man takes 6 promises during the marriage n women 1. One of the promise a man takes is to remain faithful to his wife.
Plus in hinduism, there is a rule that, if a man marries again, n the wife is not happy with it, he cld be given any punishment that his first wife wants n he has to accept it. A best example being, panchali asking arjun to get out the palace along with subhadra.
One more thing, in hinduism, v believe after marriage, the wife has the spiritual power to protect her husband. (Its given clearly in the mythological story of tulsi) . And it is regaded that if he marries again, that power which is protecting him is removed.
The example that u have given abt dasharat. Here dasharat was asked to marry again by this first wife kaushalya bcos she wanted to have a son. Moreover, which ever hindu mythological figure is regarded as a rightous person, usually had only one wife. Thats why v call ram as Maryada Purshotom. His main quality was loyalty to his wife. However v don't give the same position to krishna, though he is considered to be a god.
And as someone said here rajputs r known 4 their respect to women. rajput were great bhakths of shiva, n shiva is known for his loyalty to his wife. He married parvathi,only after he was convinced that she is sati who has taken birth again. So it is very uncommon to think that prithvi had seven wives.

Plus one more point, sanyogitha is not known as padmavathi. I guess the padmavathi u r talking abt is another rajput queen. she was the queen of chitoor n in this case it was kilji who wanted to marry her. The only incident commen b/t them is, both jumped into the fire n gave their lives.
