href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jayapala\">king Jayapala<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/how2havefun.com\/travel\/bhera-shahpur-decline-of-pakistan\/\">Bhera<\/a> (1001), marched on to defeat Niddar Bhim (1013 AD) at Nandna. Niddar Bhim (Dauntless Bhim) was a General appointed by Anandapala, son of Jayapala (who had died by then). Anandapala, seeing overwhelming odds, evacuated to Kashmir, by the time. Mahmoud of Ghazni had to forgo huge loot, that he had amassed from the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Somnath_temple\">Somnath Temple<\/a> raid, to wrestle control of Nandna Fort. Mahmoud of Ghazni appointed a Muslim Governor for the first time after this battle. It is told that the central Asian foot soldiers of Mahmoud\u2019s army \u2018came down like torrents of water \u2018upon the Nandna fort, which was indefensible due to higher mountains all around it. Mahmoud\u2019s son had to forgo his \u2018alcohol\u2019 to lighten his load for the fight. Salman Rashid Sahib\u2019s account of this affair is even more interesting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e8fdee5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-section elementor-top-section\" data-id=\"5e8fdee5\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67765242 elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column\" data-id=\"67765242\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap  elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-154696d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"154696d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/how2havefun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC_0252.jpg?fit=800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1?v=1584961656\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/how2havefun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC_0252.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/how2havefun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC_0252.jpg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/how2havefun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC_0252.jpg?w=180&amp;ssl=1 180w\" alt=\"nandna fort\" data-attachment-id=\"10157\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/how2havefun.com\/travel\/nandna-fort\/attachment\/dsc_0252\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/how2havefun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC_0252.jpg?fit=800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1?v=1584961656\" data-orig-size=\"800,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;H2HF&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D5600&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1584240274&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;H2HF&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;18&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DSC_0252\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/how2havefun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC_0252.jpg?fit=800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1?v=1584961656\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/how2havefun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC_0252.jpg?fit=800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1?v=1584961656\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ad1f848 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-section elementor-top-section\" data-id=\"6ad1f848\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38d5e8e9 elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column\" data-id=\"38d5e8e9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap  elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-527e7f08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"527e7f08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n<p>The third account is when <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Al-Biruni\">Rayhan Al Biruni<\/a> (973-1050AD), the Muslim researcher, stayed at Nandna somewhere around 1017 AD, for a while, to reconfirm the radius of the earth as measured by the Greek using Astrolabe technique.

It is said that the local Rajput ruler at that time challenged his subjects to cross over a ravine on a tight rope while danced Kathak. The person that does manage to pull this off would be given half of his wealth. Lo and behold, an ambitious Kathak dancer tip toed across and won her wealth. The Rajput ruler upped the bet by offering his complete wealth if the female Kathak dancer manages to walk back too. As expected the Machiavellian ruler cut the dancer\u2019s rope from under her feet while she was up there.
