English: Qutub Minar is my favorite monument place for clicking pictures. On this day i reached at afternoon and sun was at top of the Minar. Below the Minar is a gate entry which has four gates and is also used for devoting prayers. Minar now has 5 floors and entry in Minar is restricted.
Qutub Minar is the pride of Delhi. The tall minaret was constructed in 1192 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak, and later completed by his successor Iltutmish. The soaring conical tower is an exquisite example of Indo-Islamic Afghan architecture.
Qutub Minar is a World Heritage Site and has survived the ravages of time impressively.
Each of the 5 storeys and tower of Qutub Minar has unique designs. The base of the Qutub Minar measures 14.32 meters and the top of the structure measures 2.75 meters. The tower is so high that around 379 steps are needed to be climbed to reach the top.
