Qtub Minar
Approaching the Minar we see the usual sleeping dogs all around us.
The Minar was built in in 1193 from the stones of 20 Jain temples that were demolished by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi.
This is not Qtub Minar. This is a tiny little sister tower that was never completed beyond the first unfinished level.
Here is Qtub Minar from a distance. We have to walk through dozens of archways and temples to get to it.
The temple walls and archeways are completely covered in writing.
The base of the Minar measures 14.3 meters wide.
The Qutub Minar is 72.5 metres high (237.8 ft) with 399 steps leading to the top.
I am not a super genius and I don't carry a gigantic tape measure on me at all times. Most of this information was taken from Wikipedia.
