Kutub Minar and Iron Column, Delhi, India, circa 1890s: A Captivating Snapshot of History This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking beauty and historical significance of the Kutub Minar and the Iron Column in Delhi, India, dating back to the late 19th century. The image, taken circa 1890s, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this fascinating country. The Kutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a towering, red sandstone minaret and mosque complex, standing at an impressive height of 73 meters (240 feet). It was commissioned in 1206 by Qutub-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim sultan of Delhi, and completed by his successor, Iltutmish, in 1236. The tower's name is derived from the Persian term 'kutub,' meaning 'pillar,' and 'minar,' meaning 'tower.' The Iron Column, also known as the 'Iron Pillar of Delhi,' is a freestanding, rust-free iron pillar located in the Qutub Complex. This 7.2-meter (23.6-foot) tall pillar, believed to have been erected in the 4th or 5th century CE, is an engineering marvel that has puzzled scientists and historians for centuries due to its unusual composition and durability. This photograph, with its clear, crisp details, showcases the intricate carvings and architectural designs of these historical structures, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and cultural richness. The Iron Column, standing proudly in the foreground, adds an intriguing contrast to the towering Kutub Minar, making for a captivating and unforgettable image.
