Qutb Minar Complex, the tomb of Iltutmish was built in the early 13th century a few kilometers south of Delhi. The red sandstone tower of Qutb Minar is 72.5 m high, tapering from 2.75 m in diameter at its peak to 14.32 m at its base to give calls for prayer. Its surrounding contains Alai-Darwaza Gate, the masterpiece of Indo-Muslim art (built-in 1311). The building process of Qutub Minar took a long time (about 75 years). Its construction was started by Qutub-Ud-din Aibak in 1193 and finished by Iltutmish. Qutub Minar is known as the tallest brick minaret in the world. It is made of red sandstone and has Arabic inscriptions on it. The monuments in the Qutb complex in Mehrauli, pre-eminent among which is the Qutb Minar, illustrate the development of early Sultanate architecture (13th and early 14th century). The tomb of Iltutmish architecture is basically an Indo Islamic architecture. Situated at a site which was earlier a center of the Rajput Tomars and Chauhans, the complex is a UNESCO World Heritage site: though most structures are in ruins, they are nonetheless awe-inspiring and give a sense of what their grandeur would have been when intact. But with so much cultural heritage tied to one monument, it would be a shame to visit and not appreciate the story of the tomb of Iltutmish history behind it.

Beautiful architecture of the tomb. Quranic verses are inscribed beautifully on the walls. The actual tomb is made of marble.
