Visiting a historical place is like going down centuries and getting to know about the era from the objects, monuments, art works,etc.
Qutub Minar is one fine example of generational work of craftsmanship, built to commemorate the victory of the Mamluk Empire. It is depicted on the minaret and the surrounding complex consisting of a Mosque and an Iron Pillar brought in from Vishnupada.
Qutub-Ud-Din-Aibak was the first ruler of the Delhi Sultanate and the Mamluk Dynasty
