The Iron pillar, 5th century CE:
The Iron pillar (of Delhi) is a structure made during Gupta emperor Chandragupta II's reign between 380-415 CE. It is a magnificent monument weighing 6,614 lbs or 3,000 kgs. The 7-metre tall pillar's most unique feature is that it is rust-resistant and is of extremely high quality. Originally the pillar was raised at Udayagiri Caves in Madhya Pradesh, central India. The pillar was created by Chandragupta for his devotion to Lord Vishnu, Hindu god of preservation and commemorate his career successes, and honour his queen. The pillar wall contains Gupta-era Sanskrit inscriptions. Scientists around the world who have studied the famous pillar agree it is a testimony to the high standard of skill achieved by ancient Indian metallurgy. Indeed, the structure (made of 99% iron) has survived for over 1,600 years and counting and has little sign of degradation!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An important relic of ancient India, the mehrauli iron pillar was erected by Chandragupta 2 Vikramaditya. It was later brought to Delhi by Feroz Shah Tughluq. The iron pillar has the mystery of being rust free after so many centuries. The script on it is also famous.
