Hammir

Hammir is a term that can refer to several different things, most notably a historical figure and a type of wood.

In Indian history, Hammir Dev Chauhan was a ruler of the Rajput kingdom of Ranthambore in the 13th and 14th centuries. He is known for his bravery and resistance against the Delhi Sultanate, particularly Alauddin Khalji. His reign is often depicted in historical ballads and literature as a period of valiant defense. The fort of Ranthambore, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is closely associated with Hammir Dev Chauhan and his legendary stand. His ultimate defeat and death at the hands of Alauddin Khalji's forces are significant events in the history of medieval India.

The term "hammir" can also refer to a type of wood, often associated with certain tree species known for their strength and durability. This wood is sometimes used in construction or for crafting purposes, depending on its specific properties and availability. The exact species and regions where "hammir" wood is found can vary, but it generally denotes timber valued for its quality.
