Description:


Qutub Minar

The Qutb Minar also spelled Qutub Minar and Qutab Minar is a minaret and victory tower that forms part of the Qutb complex which lies at the site of Delhis oldest fortified city Lal Kot founded by the Tomar Rajputs. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauli area of South Delhi India. It is one of the most visited tourist spots in the city mostly built between 1199 and 1220. It can be compared to the 62-meter all-brick Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan of c.1190 which was constructed a decade or so before the probable start of the Delhi tower. The surfaces of both are elaborately decorated with inscriptions and geometric patterns. The Qutb Minar has a shaft that is fluted with superb stalactite bracketing under the balconies at the top of each stage. In general minarets were slow to be used in India and are often detached from the main mosque where they exist.
