★ ★ ★ ★ ★ wonderful place to explore in delhi. Qutub minar complex is a best evidence for Hindu muslim Architecture. Qutub minar is very much worth visit and beyond expectations. Visiting qutub minar in early morning or evening is best time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An interesting minaret, which could look spectacular if completed. This one stands with raw finish and its material implies what a solid monument it could have been.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An unfinished base of a tower which was supposed to be a larger in size version of the qutb minar. Located on right corner of the campus, make sure you don't miss it.
One can only imagine how marvellous it would've looked if completed.

Next, in order to make the Minar strong, and to carry it so high that the dome of the old Minar might look like an arch of the new, he ordered its circumference to be twice that of the old Minar". This minaret was left incomplete as Sultan Ala-ud-din died in 1316.
