Queen Didda defeated Ghaznavi twice:
Queen Didda’s name is revered in the history of Jammu and Kashmir. The reason for this is that she strengthened Kashmir at a time when India was reeling under the attack of invaders and was in a state of turmoil. Queen Didda, who ruled Jammu and Kashmir from 980 AD to 1003 AD, strengthened Jammu and Kashmir internally while retaliating to external attacks. The dreaded invader Mahmud Ghaznavi who attacked the Somnath temple was repulsed twice by Queen Didda. The medieval poet Kalhana has described in detail Queen Didda in his treatise Rajatarangini.
