There are two wrongs in this reference of Tabakat-I-Nasiri
Wrong1-There is no mention of any Ganesha Idol was brought to Delhi
Wrong2- Tabakat-I-Nasiri mention effigy of Vikramaditya and Idol of Mahakal was destroyed and brought to Delhi.
Both are false(see page 622,623)

Tabakat-I-Nasiri is a bundle of lies written only for flattering Sultans of Delhi. Irony that people “quote “Tabakat-I-Nasiri bringing idol of Mahakal to Delhi as history and at the same time doubt historicity of Prithviraj Raso . 2/n

Read this reference-
Page 622- He advance to Ujjain and destroyed the Idol-temple of Mahkal.
Page 623– He carried away the idol of Mahakal to Delhi.
First make it clear whether idol of Mahakal was destroyed or it was carried to Delhi? Aren’t they contradictory and false?

How can anyone even quote such a bullshiट source like Tabakat-I-Nasiri that says Ganesha &महाकाल idol was destroyed. Does anyone believe that we worship a duplicate Mahakal?(I will make it clear what happened to Mahakal idol after Iltutmish Ujjain invasion in my later tweet).4/n

Now look at the image of Ganesha again, its not an statue, it is clearly a relief carved out in a masonry stone with average finish. Apparently it can never be carried by Iltutmish so long for purpose mentioned by him.
This may be a stone from 27 temples damaged before 5/n

Now, million doller question. What happened to Mahakal Idol after 1234-35 Iltutmish Invasion?
Answer- Priests of Mahakal temple performed “Nishpran Pratishtha” of Mahakal Baba and hid the idol in “Koti tirth Kund”. Read the SC judgement 4676 of 2018. 6/n

Finally
Mahakal was always there !Mahakal will remain in Ujjain forever!
And Iltutamish ? Iltutmish suffered severe illnesses and pathetically died very next year (1236). जय श्री महाकाल 🙏🏻
