The victory paved the way for Ghazni to raid India seventeen times during which he plundered small tribes before moving on to larger regimes and temples for treasures and women. He desecrated all the monuments that unsettled him and attacked holy cities like Thaneshwar, Mathura, etc. On his seventeenth raid on Somnath Temple, he amassed as much loot as he did in his past sixteen raids altogether.[1]
