Whispers of Time: The Tower That Touched the Sky

In the heart of Delhi, the Qutub Minar rises like an ancient storyteller, its sandstone and marble walls etched with centuries of history. Built in 1199 by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, this towering masterpiece stands at 73 meters, making it the tallest brick minaret in the world. Each floor narrates the legacy of dynasties that shaped its form, from Iltutmish to Firuz Shah Tughlaq. The intricate carvings, adorned with Quranic verses and floral patterns, whisper tales of faith and ambition. Nearby, the Iron Pillar of Delhi defies rust, adding to the mystery of the complex. Whether bathed in golden sunlight or veiled in evening shadows, the Qutub Minar remains a timeless guardian of India's storied past.
