The building in this picture is one of the highest minarets anywhere in the world. It was built by Sultan Qutbuddin Aibak in 12th century. There are many historical buildings in Qutub complex in Mahroli area of Indian Capital , New Delhi. Some of these buildings are still in goof shape but a few of them are not in so good condition although the archaeological department is doing its best.
Beside this famous minaret, the complex has many more worth visiting historical buildings. The complex is right in the hear of Indian capital New Delhi. I will post more of my camera work of this area as the place is less than 100 km from my Indian house.
