The name is after the King of MalDev or Malu. The Rajput history claims
its name Malot from the word Malik-Kot as
they believed that the title of Malik was given to
the one who accepted annexation to the Muslim King of Delhi although in reward
the Malik enjoyed the autonomous status with full sovereignty in the assigned area.
The Mughal King Babur?s travelogue ?Tuzkai-Babree? attests to the corollary of Malik-Kot,
Mal-Kot and then Malot. According to Ghadholak Rajput archives
the city of Delhi was built around 994 AD and Malot was built around 980 AD.
Gen Cunningham found the Malot Fort and Temples in a very bad shape even in 1848.
The two present temples were looked after by the Brahman Bali Hindus till 1947.
The Guru of Bali Hindus, Guru Tarlok Nath shrines were frequently visited by them.
In the year 1527 Daulat khan Lodhi was forced by the royal forces of Mughal king Babur,
to surrender. Mahan Singh, father of Maharaja Rangeet singh,
also built a small fort here at Malot in early 19th century.
