Dharti Ka Veer Yodha Prithviraj Chauhan (Hindi: धरती का वीर योद्धा पृथ्विराज चौहान) is a television programme aired on Indian TV Channel STAR Plus that was launched by Sagar Arts who have earlier started the television series Ramayan, Mahabharat and Hatim. This Hindi TV serial shows the story of one of the most famous Hindu kings of medieval Indian history: Prithviraj Chauhan, his early life, his exploits, his love for princess Sanyogita. Much of these comes from the Early Hindi/Apabhramsha epic of poet Chandabardayi called Prithviraj Raso, but the producers have taken huge liberties to add romance to the show. The Program currently is a huge success with Anas Rashid playing 'Yuva' (grown-up) Prithviraj Chauhan and Sheetal Gupta playing the role of Sanyogita. Teenage actor Rajat Tokas also won great popularity playing the teenage Prithviraj.
