Isn't it beautiful? It is said that his ancestors had won the city from the Tomar Rajputs, who are credited with forming Delhi. Anangpal, a Tomar ruler, created the first known regular fort here and called it Lal Kot.

Prithviraj Chauhan extended the city beyond the fort. The ruins are still visible around Qutub Minar and Mehrauli.
