Chand Bardai- The Poet Spy: A court poet, a jester, and a master of disguises, Chand Bardai served under Prithviraj Chauhan, the king of the Hindu Chauhan dynasty that ruled over Ajmer and Delhi. Faithful to his master, Bardai was involved in helping Chauhan's beloved Sanyukta escape from Kannauj on the day of her swayamvar. When Prithviraj was defeated by Ghori in the second battle of Tarain and taken as a prisoner, Bardai followed Chauhan as a fakir and won favour with the cruel Ghori. Bardai is said to have found Prithviraj Chauhan in the prison cells of Ghazni, blinded and in chains. Together with his master, Bardai plots a way to seek revenge from the cruel Ghori.
