Alha was a legendary Ahir general of the Chandel king Paramardideva (also known as Parmal), who fought Prithviraj Chauhan in 1182 CE, immortalised in the Alha-Khand ballad. The Alha and Udal of the Ahir/Yadava clan of Mahoba, are said to have defeated Prithviraj Chauhan in 52 battles. The Alha and Udal ballads sing of Ahir bravery in the medieval age.
