The Battle of Tarain refers to two significant battles fought near the town of Tarain (modern-day Taraori in Haryana, India) during the medieval period.

First Battle of Tarain (1191):  This battle was fought between the Ghurid ruler, Muhammad Ghori, and the Chahamana Rajput king, Prithviraj Chauhan. Prithviraj Chauhan emerged victorious in this battle.

Second Battle of Tarain (1192): The Second Battle of Tarain occurred a year later, in 1192, and was a rematch between Muhammad Ghori and Prithviraj Chauhan. This time, Muhammad Ghori emerged victorious, marking the end of Hindu rule in Delhi and the beginning of the Muslim dominance in North India.
