Founder of Dhillika City Identified
The ancient city of Dhillika, which later evolved into modern Delhi, was founded by the Tomar dynasty.
Historical Context
- The Tomar dynasty ruled the region around Delhi in the early medieval period.
- Historical accounts credit Raja Anangpal Tomar (also known as Anangpal I) with establishing the city of Dhillika, likely in the 8th century CE.
- The name 'Dhillika' is believed to be derived from the 'dhill' (loose) nature of the iron pillar installed by Raja Anangpal.
