Vigraharaja IV's first war against the Ghazanvid took place in the later half of the 12th century CE between the forces of the Ghazanvid Empire under Khusrau Shah of Ghazna and the Chauhan dynasty under Vigraharāja the great. In this momentous confrontation, the Chahamana ruler, successfully defended the region against the relentless onslaught of Muslim invaders from the northwest.

The engagement unfolded in Vavvera, situated six miles from the village Khetri near Jaipur, culminating in a triumphant outcome for Vigraharaja and his Army. This decisive victory not only marked the successful defense of the region but also resulted in the annexation of Hansi (Asika) into the Chahamana territory.
