Why should you visit Qutub Minar at least once?
Just height is not the real beauty of Qutub Minar but it’s the layers of history this monument has, which are hidden in every stone. If you quietly and slowly walk through the complex, it feels that the monument itself is telling the stories aged from 800 years ago.
Ancient Temple Stones in the complex
Although the whole complex is Islamic Monument, but near the tower Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque has something different. Many of its pillars were made using stones from earlier Hindu and Jain temples, which gives the monument an entire unique historical character.
A Staircase You Can No Longer Climb
If you don’t know, there is a spiral staircase in the tower which has a total of 379 steps which is built to take anyone from bottom to top. But today nobody is allowed to go inside it as there was an incident or you can call it an accident which caused major casualties in 1981, because the visitors panicked inside the tower and started moving towards the door which was locked by accident. So from that day on, the Government has banned entry inside the tower.
The Mysterious Rust-Free Iron Pillar
Right next to the tower the famous Iron Pillar of Delhi is standing over 1,600 years old and still hasn’t rusted. Scientists believe that the composition of metals in the pillar is special and it formed a protective layer which is protecting the pillar from corroding. People also believe that giving hug to the pillar and making a wish will be fulfilled in future and thinked it as Lucky Charm.
The Tower Was Built by Different Rulers
If you think the tower and the whole complex was made by one then you probably don’t know the fact that the construction was started in 1199 by Qutb-ud-din who was also the founder of Delhi Sultanat. However he completed only the first storey.
After that his successor , Iltutmish built three more storeys and later Firoz shah Tughlaq repaired and added top section because of the lighting that damaged the tower.
