About 2-km southwest of Suraj Kund is a dam ascribed to
Anangpal of the Tomar dynasty, who is also credited with the building of
Lal Kot. A road branching off west at a distance of about 19-km from Delhi
on the Mathura road can now also reach it.
Here, again, rainwater has been blocked by throwing up a dam of local
quartzite stone across the impounded waters is an impressive sight during
the rainy months. The sluice openings in the dam allowed the water to flow
through the ravine and irrigated the fields below.
In the neighbouring hills also exist ruins of some fortifications, which
lend support to the popular belief that Anangpur represents the site of a
town founded by King Anangpal.
