Radhe Radhe Everyone!
In today's blog I'll share more about my experience at Qutub Minar or The Tower Of Victory. Here's a link to pervious one in case you missed it.
So after reaching at the main campus and looking at it's beauty I was mesmerized and there were lots of people with excitement and curiosity to know in depth the history of Qutub Minar.
There were lots of photographer too at that spot, and by looking at them my photography spirit woke up and here are some pictures I have taken with my phone as my camera was not with me. In the comments do let me know the one you loved the most.
As Delhi Airport is nearby so you will spot number of planes in the sky after every 10 minutes. But I loved how this plane in this picture turned it even more interesting and beautiful. Also credit also goes to the sunset as the sky turned picturesque with numerous colors.
There I also spot lots of couple enjoying their evening and time together. Here's a lovely picture of them, I hope whoever is in this picture, they read my blog.
By roaming around I spotted some interesting structures, part of Minar Campus and to know more about it, I went near it and honestly everything I discovered there was out of this world. The huge pillars, made up of red sandstones and marbles were just jaw-dropping.
The construction of Qutub Minar started in 12th century and at that time cement was not invented so how and why are these structures still sranding tall instead of all the calamities. At that time the builders used stone joints and Iron clamps. The ancient engineering was really something else, the proof is here in front of us and it will remain like this in future as well.
And while roaming around I saw this board which explain the history of Quwwat-ul-Islam Masjid. After Islamic conquest of Delhi, this is first Mosque built in India around 1193 by the founder of Delhi Sultanate.
You will spot most of the pillars with non Islamic design as it is construed by using material of some almost 29 demolished jain temples and hindu temples. Therefore Islamic pillars as well as Hindu pillars both are there, making it more unique and historically more significant mosque.
Some of the stones were there on the ground and difficult type of art or shaped were made on them. It was eye-catching and by looking at them you are literally looking into history.
The work on the ceiling was also incredible and it's all crafted with stone, wood and plaster and the rich culture and architecture of that time can be seen here. The work done is literally amazing.
Within different time frame different rulers came and therefore there are different Turkish, Islamic and Afghan styles of architecture there. Literally looking at it we can get idea about the different time, different rulers and the rich history. The ceiling with potus medallion is literally amazing.
These are the beautiful design that show the great craftsmanship and the talent of the craftsmans. I was literally in awe by looking at this beauty. It a must visit place for everybody even with different age group.
Even after facing lots of calamities, these structures are here standing tall and proudly. In my upcoming blog i'll share about the Iron pillar, so stay tuned.
Thank you so much for reading.
