Anangpal Tomar

[3] Other parts of the Kingdom of political importance were as follows: Pathankot - Nurpur, Patan - Tanwarawati, Nagarkot (Kangra), Asigarh (Hansi), Sthaneshwar (Thanesar), Mathura, Taragarh, Gopachal (Gwalior), Tanwarhinda (Bhatinda), Tanwarghaar.

Pasanaha Chariu of Vibudh Shridhar (VS 1189–1230) an Apabhramsha writer, provides the first reference to the legend of the origin of the name Dhilli for Delhi.

As per his contemporary Vibudh Shridhar's Parshwanath Charit, he defeated Turks led by Ibrahim Ghaznavi in Himachal pradesh and thereafter Kalashdev of Utpala dynasty in kashmir.

[9] The Lal Kot (as the Qila Rai Pithora was originally called) is believed to be constructed in the reign of Tomar king Anangpal II.

He brought the iron pillar from Saunkh in Mathura district and got it fixed in Delhi in the year 1052 as evident from the inscriptions on it.

[12][13] He constructed the Tahangarh fort (Tribhuvangiri) in Karauli district of Rajasthan and was also referred to as "Tribhuvan Pal Naresh".

According to local priests and native records, the original temple is believed to be built by the Pandavas at the end of Mahabharata war.

The temple is also an integral part of an important inter-faith festival of Delhi, the annual Phool Walon Ki Sair.

[22] According to farishta, in Northern India, there existed a group of almost 150 kingdoms whose rulers considered the Tomar emperors of Delhi their Chief.

[23] To quote an 18th century oriental scholar, Anangpal Tomar was "justly entitled to be termed the paramount sovereign of Hindustan".

An exhibition — comprising coins, inscriptions and literature — held on the sidelines of the seminar will be taken abroad through the Indian Council of Cultural Relations (ICCR) so that the narrative takes roots outside India as well.

There is also a proposal to make Lal Kot an ASI-protected monument so that vertical excavation could be carried out to establish more links between Tomars and Delhi.

The region was in ruins when he ascended the throne in the 11th century, it was he who built Lal Kot fort and Anangtal Baoli.

The Tomar rule over the region is attested by multiple inscriptions and coins, and their ancestry can be traced to the Pandavas (of the Mahabharata)" said BR Mani, former joint director-general of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
