the real charm of this place. You can find all types of items starting from textiles,

recognised landmark of Delhi. In 1199 AD, Qutbuddin erected the Qutub Minar either
as a victory tower or as a minaret to the adjacent mosque. From a base of 14.32
mtrs. it tapers to 2.75 mtrs. at a height of 72.5 mtrs. Even today, it is the
highest stone and one of the finest stone towers in India. Completed by the Sultan's
successor and son-in-law, Iltutmish, Qutub MInar is the finest Islamic structures
ever raised. The tomb of Iltutmish, which he himself built in 1235 AD, is located
nearby.

or the Bahai temple is set amidst pools and gardens, and adherents of any faith
are free to visit the temple and pray or meditate silently according to their
own religion. The structure is in lotus shape so it often called the lotus temple.

flood lit.

of triumph. It bears the name of the 85,000 Indian Army Soldiers who died in the
campaigns of World War I. Below the arch is the memorial to the unknown soldier.

instruments. Built by Maharaja Jai Singh this structure is actually an observatory.

movements very accurately.
Old Fort : It is believed that the
Pandavas had built their capital, Indraprastha at the place where the old fort
stands today. This fort, now in ruins, was the seat for administration for many
