Anang Tal Lake, created over a thousand years ago in South Delhi, has been declared a monument of national importance by the Ministry of Culture through a gazette notification.
It is created by Tomar King, Anangpal II, in 1,060 AD.
It is also said Alauddin Khalji, in 1296-1316 AD, utilised the water of this tank when he built Qutub Minar and extended the Qutub-ul-Islam Mosque.
Moreover, Anang Tal has a strong Rajasthan connection as Maharaja Anang Pal is known as nana (maternal grandfather) of Prithviraj Chauhan.
