Power Struggle
In his youth Sanga had to rival with his elder brother Prithiraj. When a priestess announced that Sanga would rule Mewar, the furious Prithiraj drew his sword and a vicious fight ensued. Afterwards, Sanga fled on foot, one of his eyes destroyed forever. As a result, Prithiraj was banished from Chittor, and their younger brother Jaimall was then considered heir to the throne. Jaimall, however, was slain by the indignant father of the girl he had been courting. Later, Prithiraj was poisoned by his brother-in-law whom he had punished for maltreating his sister. This left Sanga to ascend their father's throne.
