The capital of Tomar changed several times during his rule in North India for 457 years. The first capital of the Tomar kingdom was Anangpur while the last was Dhillikapuri (Delhi, Lal Kot). #RajputSamratAnangpalTomar
Some historians say that the rule of the Tomars came from the 7th to the 8th century, while in the 11th century, King Anangpal Tomar II sat on the throne of Delhi.His kingdom was from Palam to Mehrauli area. Here he got 27 Jain and Hindu temples built #RajputSamratAnangpalTomar
In which, in front of the Vishnu temple, he had established the Vishnu flag pillar by alloy, which is still standing in the present Qutub complex and it did not rust. While the legend of temples is found in Sanskrit inscription.#RajputSamratAnangpalTomar
The Lal Kot (as Qila Rai Pithora) is believed to have been built during the reign of the Tomar king Anangpal II.Coins in the name of "Shri Killi Dev Pal" were also minted by him after fixing the Iron Pillar (Killi) in Delhi in 1052 AD by bringing iron #RajputSamratAnangpalTomar
pillars from Sankh in that Mathura district. With the iron pillar as the center, many palaces and temples were built and finally the fort of Lal Kot was built around them. #RajputSamratAnangpalTomar
Hansi was founded by Anangpal for his guru "Hanskar". Later his son Drupada established a sword making factory in this fort, hence it is also called "Asigarh". #RajputSamratAnangpalTomar
Apart from these, he also built the forts of Ballabgarh,Badalgarh and Mahendragarh(Narnaul).Anangpal Tomar built the Tahangarh Fort (Tribhuvanagiri) in Karauli district of Rajasthan and was also known as "Tribhuvan Pal Naresh".He is also credited with establishing the Patan Fort.
Anangtal Baoli in Mehrauli, which is the oldest existing primitive form of Baoli in Delhi, was constructed by him. #Yogmaya Temple was also built by Anangpal Tomar 2 to worship Tomar's Kuldevi Yogmaya.
Seen in this way, the memory of Anangpal as the founder Maharaj of Delhi is the memory of the original real introduction of Delhi. #RajputSamratAnangpalTomar
