This beautiful red & buff sandstone tower is the highest one (72.5mts) in India. The Diameter of it at the base is 14.32 mts & around 2.75 mts at the top. The foundation stone of Qutub Minar was laid down by Qutb-u’d-Din Aibak in 1199 AD to celebrate the victory of Md. Gori over the Rajputs in 1192. After the first storey, 3 more storeys were added to it by Shamsu’d-Din IItumish, the successor & son-in-law of Qutb-u’d-Din Aibak. Numerous inscriptions in Arabic & Nagari in the Minar reveal the history of the Qutub. The inscriptions also suggest that it was repaired by Firoz Shah Tughlaq (1351-88 AD) & Sikandar Lodi (1489-1517 AD).
