Excerpt: The Anagpur Dam, located close to the Anagpur village (also called Arangpur) in Gurgaon district of Haryana, India, is 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) away from the more famous Surajkund.

It is approachable by road from Delhi from the Delhi - Mathura road. The ruins of the fortifications found in Anangpur village establishes by an inference that it was built by Anangpal as part of the Lal Kot that was developed as the first city of Delhi in the 8th century. Topography A local nala (stream) originating in the Aravalli hills was intercepted by building a dam at a chasm to store rain water. It is basically a water harvesting structure meant to store rain water during the monsoon season for beneficial uses of irrigation.

They inhabited the areas, which were isolated with difficult access, as they wanted to be safe from the warring Rajput clans. Within the boundaries of the present day Haryana, on the border with Delhi, they built the Surjakund reservoir near Surjakund village and another dam in its close vicinity near the Arangpur village as the Anangpur dam. It is said that Anangpal who built Surjakund and Arangpal (also known as the builder of Lal Kot, called the first city of Delhi) who built Arangpur dam belonged to the same dynasty but belonged Books, , Dams-In-India~~Books-Llc, 999999999, Dams In India, Books Llc, 1156436273, General Books LLC, , , , , General Books LLC<
