	Qutab Minar by Chandrika Chowdhry
		The foundation for the Qutab Minar and the monuments adjacent to it was laid by Qutb-al-din-Aibak, the Turk commander who ascended to the throne of Delhi in 1206.
		But notwithstanding the indigenous Indian workmanship, the Qutab Minar is, in fact, the last and the grandest of the Ghaznavid and Seljuqid funerary towers built in Afghanistan and Iran.
		The red sandstone tower of Qutab Minar is 72.5 m high, tapering from 14.32 m at its base to 2.75 m in diameter at its peak, and alternating in angular and rounded flutings.

		The Qutub Minar is 72.5 metres high (237.8 ft) and requires 379 steps to get to the top, although it has not been possible for visitors to ascend the tower for some years, due to safety reasons.
		The minaret is made of fluted red sandstone covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur'an, and is built on the ruins of Lal Kot, the Red Citadel in the city of Dhillika.
		Many historians believe that the Qutb Minar was named after the first Turkish sultan, Qutb-ud-din Aibak but others contend that it was named in honour of Khwaja Qutb-ud-din Bakhtiar Kaki, a saint from Baghdad who came to live in India who was greatly venerated by Iltutmish.
