THE STORY
Qutub Minar: a closer look
Qutub Minar stands within an early Delhi Sultanate complex. The minaret’s changing sections and carved surfaces reflect work undertaken under successive rulers. The surrounding remains are essential to understanding the monument; the tower alone tells only part of the story.
Old Delhi rewards a guided walk through bazaars and food lanes. In New Delhi, gardens, galleries and broad boulevards offer a quieter contrast. Plan time for both rather than treating the capital as a single photo stop.
