Qutub Minar History..

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.
