Qutb Minar, Mehrauli



I started my day today with a 20 kilometre drive to Mehrauli to visit Qutb Minar, the minaret that symbolizes Delhi, just like Eiffel Tower is synonyms with Paris. The morning trip was fun as I returned to the monument after 20 odd years. I had first gone to the Qutb complex with the school trip when I was in class 1. It is as beautiful as I remember.

Below is a plaque that tells the visitors all about Qutb Minar.

An impressive structure. Did you wrap your arms around the iron pillar?

Thanks Aradhana, Prachi.

Neha, the bird flying in the photo was a lucky coincidence.

Kris unfortunately for preservation reasons, the iron pillar can only be seen and not touched anymore. I did click a lot of photos. Would put them and then you can see what the human touch has done to the pillar.
