Everyone knows the city of Delhi because it is the Red Fort in Delhi and it is also a historical area. But do you know that there are many historical scenes in Delhi such as Ashoka Pillar etc. In this post today, we are going to talk about the Qutub Minar and what is its history.
There is a tower located in a historical city like Delhi. This is a very old tower known as Qutub Minar. It is the world's largest high brick tower, which dominates the skyline of the city. Its height is 73 feet and it is structured in 5 storeys, it is also a World Heritage Site. It is one of the most magnificent medieval buildings in India. The first 3 floors of the tower have been built or erected with red sandstone salt stone and the top two floors of marble and red sandstone have been built. Mehrauli in Delhi is located in the salt zone.
Qutub Minar was built by Qutub-ud-din Aibak. Qutub-ud-din Aibak laid the foundation of the Mamluk dynasty in India in 1204–1290. Inspired by the idea of building the Qutub Minar, inspired by the Vijay Stambh located in the city of Ghazni, Afghanistan, Aibak started the construction of Qutub Minar in 1192 AD. Qutub-ud-din Aibak died before the work of the tower was completed. After the death of Aibak, the work of the minaret was done by Aibak's successors Iltutmish and Firoz Shah. There is a Kuwat-ul-Islam salt mosque near the tower, this mosque was built by Aibak and it is also known as Qutub Aibak's first building.
There are many more monuments in this council, but the most popular among them is the "Iron Pillar", which is built in the 7th century and also called as Ashoka Pillar, it is about 24 feet in height and weighs more than 4 tons. .

There is a belief among the tourists who come here that whoever will hold his hand backwards and hold the Ashoka Pillar, all his wishes are fulfilled.

In this film, Amitabh Bachchan is playing a pivotal role, nearby you will also find the tourist Alvai Darwaza where you can go and it is made of red sandstone and it is a domed entrance and it is decorated with white marble stones. has gone.
It is built by Alauddin Khilji. And this grand monument has been made by skilled Turkish artisan. Near this building you will find a tower called Alai Minar and it was built by Khilji. Khilji had thought of making this tower twice as high as the Qutub Minar, but before that Khilji died and the work of this tower came to a standstill and you will see the same way even today. There is also Iltutmish's tomb located nearby, which was built by the emperor. And it was one of the tombs of Delhi.
