Lal Kot — the first fortified city of Delhi, built by the Tomar (Tanwar) ruler Anangpal Tomar. A symbol of the dynasty that laid the foundations of Delhi.

Laal Kot Fort was the first fortified city of Delhi. It was built by the Gujjar chief, Maharaja Anangpal Tomar II of the Tomara (Tanwar) dynasty around the mid-11th century (c. 1050–1060 CE).

It served as:

-The capital of the Tomar Kingdom.

- A massive defensive fortress protecting Delhi.

-The earliest known fortified urban settlement of medieval Delhi.

Later, in the late 12th century, Prithviraj Chauhan III expanded Laal Kot by building a larger outer fortification, which became known as Qila Rai Pithora.

Today, the surviving walls of Laal Kot are considered the oldest surviving fortifications in Delhi, marking the beginning of Delhi's long history as a major political center.

The Sun Temple at Modhera in present-day Gujarat was built in the early 11th century CE, generally attributed to the reign of Bhima I of the Chaulukya (Solanki) dynasty. The complex is dedicated to Surya, the solar deity, and is one of the most studied examples of Maru-Gurjara temple architecture in western India.

The site is arranged along an east–west axis and consists of three main parts: the Surya Kund (stepped tank), the Sabha Mandapa (assembly hall), and the Gudha Mandapa (sanctum hall). The temple is known for its detailed sandstone carvings, geometric ceiling designs, and sculptural programs depicting deities, musicians, dancers, scenes from epics, and aspects of daily life.

Unlike many later temples, the Modhera complex no longer contains an active main idol in the sanctum. Archaeological and inscriptional evidence places the monument within the broader temple-building activity of western India during the 11th–12th centuries.

The stepped tank in front of the temple contains numerous miniature shrines and demonstrates advanced planning in water architecture as well as ritual design. The surviving carvings also provide important evidence for clothing, ornamentation, iconography, and artistic conventions of the period.
