Monarchs are fallible in their decisions.
Since they accumulate so much power( people bowing , scraping & genuflecting & generally elevating Kings to demi- god status) that even sane advice is impossible at times.
Leaving Ghori was a big tactical mistake. I am sure " Prithviraj's" chieftains must have tried to advice him against this step, but to no avail.
All major sardars who provided levies / fighters had a stake in the well being of the kingdom,( Ajmer) but a king can get deluded by his own victories & his own counsel.
Monarchies/ Dictatorships are inherently flawed in strategic / tactical decision making .
