The Jauhar at Chittorgarh in 1303 was during the siege by which invader?

Explanation

Alauddin Khalji is the invader linked to the 1303 siege of Chittorgarh. The official Rajasthan Tourism page says Chittorgarh Fort faced its first major attack in 1303, when the Sultan of Delhi, Ala-ud-din Khilji, attacked it. That siege is connected with Rani Padmini and other women performing jauhar, and was the first of the three historic jauhars at Chittorgarh. The pairing of Chittorgarh with the year 1303 points to Alauddin Khalji, not to any of the other named invaders.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Muhammad bin Tughlaq did not lead the 1303 Chittorgarh siege; Rajasthan Tourism points to Alauddin Khalji.
• (B) Sher Shah Suri is not associated with the 1303 Chittorgarh jauhar; the event is tied to Alauddin Khalji's attack.
• (C) Babur is not linked to the 1303 siege; Alauddin Khalji led the attack.

Concept

RAS Rajasthan medieval history often covers the chronology of Chittorgarh's jauhars and sieges. Fort-centred events and ruler-invader associations are standard Rajasthan history recall points.
