The siege of Gwalior was a military expedition of The Ghurid Dynasty against the Kachchhapaghata dynasty in 1196. The Ghurids under Qutb ud-Din Aibak captured Gwalior after defeating Sulakshanapala, the King of Kachchhapaghata. Sulakshanapala surrendered to Aibak, which led to the complete end of Rajput Kachchhapaghata dynasty
Sulakshanapala, the King of Kachchhapaghata dynasty surrendered the fort and accepted their sovereignty. Qutb ud-Din appointed his slave Iltutmish as governor. This led to the decline of Kachchhapaghata dynasty.
