Location

qutub minar | New Delhi, DL

Qutub Minar, the 73-meter tall minaret in Delhi, was built in the 13th century by Qutb-ud-din Aibak and completed by his successor Sultan Iltutmish.

And this 13th-century solitary stone sentinel, standing on the southern hills of Delhi that's been built & rebuilt by mighty rulers who wanted to leave their mark on history, has been witness to a thousand controversies fables and many an urban legend!!!


Come join the storytellers of DelhiByFoot as we help you explore the medieval grandeur of Delhi, where the Aravallis meet the Yamuna....and traverse the many tales from the realm of history and folklore as we take a walk back in time to see the iconic Qutub, literally in a new light!!! 

Illuminated by the golden glow of a hundred lamps as the lofty minaret pierces the dark sky...and behind it the full moon shining bright....playing hide and seek with these 8-centuries old historical ruins!! Discover the era when slaves rose to become Sultans and Delhi became a refuge for the oppressed in the world!

Learn also how in that era, where war and conquest were rife, Indian art, fused with Central Asian traditions, created such architectural wonders like the Qutub.

Often seen as Delhi's Mascot architectural element, it is thus not surprising that this tallest free-standing stone brick minaret in the world, featuring intricate carvings and verses from the Quran also, apart from the exquisitely carved geometric and floral patterns, became Delhi's first UNESCO World Heritage site.
