 Hammira and his loyal companions marched to the top of the "pasheb" mound, where they fought to death with Alauddin's army.Some Rajput-era bards claim that Hammira severed his own head and offered it to the god Mahadeva when faced with a certain defeat.According to the Jain scholar Nayachandra, Hammira was generous towards Brahmins, and respected all Indian faiths, including Jainism.
