c8.s2.19

The surrender of Ranthambhor witnessed the usual zeal for iconoclasticism and plunder. A number of temples, chief amongst which was the temple of Yahar Deo (Har Deva) were razed to the ground. Many "temples and houses in the city were destroyed" and "the centre of Kufr became the abode of Islam."³⁷ The fortress of Ranthambhor together with the territory of Jhain was entrusted to the care of Ulugh Khān and the Sultān returned to Delhi.
