History

It was created in AD 1,060.
The site has a total size of 10.599 acres.
According to ancient stone inscriptions discovered by Lord Cunningham, the city was formerly known as DhillikaPuri.

Location

Jog Maya Temple is located to the north of Anang Tal, which is 500 metres to the northwest of Qutub Complex.

Tomar King

Anang Pal Tomar, a Tomar ruler from the eleventh century, constructed it.

Relevance of the most recent decision

As soon as a site is designated as being of national significance, the ASI takes steps to protect it and places limitations on nearby construction.
It is rumoured to have once been a popular vacation spot, but these days it is dried up and utilised for farming.

The NMA has been delegated specific tasks for the conservation and preservation of monuments and sites, including control of the banned and restricted areas surrounding centrally designated monuments.
