Samyukta

Samyukta

Sanyogita, daughter of Raja Jaichand of Kannauj, was the wife of Indian king Prithviraj Chauhan. Her choosing Prithviraj Chauhan at the swayamvara for which he was not even invited enraged her father. This led to a rift between Delhi and Kannauj kingdoms which was taken advantage of by Sultan Muhammad Ghori of Afghanistan. The name Samyukta has originated from a Sanskrit word which means united. As such it is believed that people with this name play the role of a unifier in peer group or family. The love story of Prithviraj and Samyukta is one of the many legendary love stories prevalent in India. In modern times the name Samyukta is equally popular as the good name of a daughter across all parts of India.

Off late, Rajkumar Santoshi, the ace director from bollywood, has taken up the mammoth task of portraying the love story of Samyukta and Prithviraj by capturing it on celluloid

Pop culture
