Qutub Minar, one of the tallest masonry minarets in the world, stands approximately 73 meters tall. Built in the early 13th century, it symbolizes the founding of an Islamic dynasty in India. Constructed entirely of red sandstone and marble, its exterior is intricately carved with Quranic verses and intricate geometric ornamentation, its layers gradually tapering upwards, creating a majestic aura. Surrounding the minar are the remains of a mosque and other historic buildings, forming the Qutub Minar complex.
