Anangpur

Anangpur is a village located in the Faridabad district of Haryana, India. It is historically significant for being the site of the Anangpur Dam, an 8th-century water conservation structure attributed to the Tomar Rajput dynasty. This dam is considered a crucial piece of early Indian engineering, demonstrating advanced understanding of hydrology and masonry construction.

The Anangpur Dam is built of quartzite stone and acts as a gravity dam, designed to capture rainwater and create a reservoir for irrigation and water supply. While largely ruined today, its remains offer insights into the water management systems prevalent during the Tomar period.

The village itself is primarily an agricultural community, with its history closely linked to the dam and its role in the region's water resources. Archeological surveys in and around Anangpur have revealed evidence of continuous habitation and cultural activity spanning several centuries. The area is of interest to historians and archeologists studying early medieval India and the evolution of water management techniques. The proximity to Delhi also makes Anangpur a location of interest for heritage tourism.
