Julley Ladakh, Kashmir (19) - me and Qutub Minar

Sebenarnya cerita Ladakh dah berakhir pun.

tapi kan sebelum balik i pegi ke Delhi. 

dan i ambik kesempatan untuk melawat some places yang i tak pegi lagi.

So kali ni i nak pegi ke Qutub Minar. 

Apa yang istimewanya tempat ni..

ok lah...

i google je yeee..

Qutub Minar in Delhi is world heritage site. 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 Height : 72.5 meteres or 237.8 feet 

Steps in minar : 379 steps 

Year Built : 1192 

Address : Aurobindo Marg, Mehrauli, New Delhi 

Built by :Qutab-ud-din Aibak 

There are evidence that Qutubminar was built much before by Hindu emperors. Later Kuttubuddin has replaced the writing on stones.

Qutub Minar is a World Heritage Site and has survived the ravages of time impressively. The Minar of Delhi is surrounded by a lush green garden, which is an ideal leisurely place for visitors. Qutab Minar is the favourite destination of tourists. It is India's most visited monument attracting around 3.9 million visitors every year.

Qutab Minar is a great masterpiece of Mughal architecture. The base of the Qutub Minar measures 14.32 meters and the top of the structure measures 2.75 meters. The bird eye's view of Delhi city from the top is amazing. The base of first storey has alternate angular and circular flutings, the second one is round. The third storey of the Qutub Minar has angular flutings. The balconies projecting out heighten the beauty of the Minar.

The tower is so high that around 379 steps are needed to be climbed to reach the top. Another taller tower adjacent to Qutub Minar is named Alai Minar which is somewhat tilted in one direction.

The verses from the holy Qur'an are carved on sandstone walls of Qutub Minar. This monument serves the purpose of calling people for prayer in the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque. This is a tower of victory, a monument that signify the might of Islam, or a tower for keeping a check for defense.

There are claims and evidence that Qutubminar was built much before by Hindu emperors.  Later Kuttubuddin has replaced the writing on stones. The stones has hindu God pictures on one side and arabic writing on other side. 

Stones dislodged from the Minar have Hindu images on one side with Arabic lettering on the other. Those stones are now in Museum. These stone represent that invaders used to remove the stone- dressing of Hindu buildings, turn the stones inside out to hide the image facial and inscribe Arabic lettering on the new frontage.
