Qutub Minar History

Qutub Minar or 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 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.

Each of the 5 storeys and tower of Qutub Minar has unique designs.

It was hit by lightening couple of times and was damaged. The subsequent rulers 

repaired it. Thus it is standing mightily as it was before till date.
