Qutub Minar A Journey Through History with Lekhwar Hospitality
When you visit Delhi, you’re not just stepping into a modern metropolis — you’re walking into centuries of living history. And nestled in the heart of Mehrauli lies one of India’s most iconic monuments: the Qutub Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to the architectural brilliance of medieval India.
At Lekhwar Hospitality, we believe that travel is more than just sightseeing — it’s about connecting with stories, culture, and legacy. Join us as we take you on a journey to explore the magnificence of Qutub Minar and why it should be at the top of your Delhi itinerary.
A Towering Marvel of Indo-Islamic Architecture
Rising to a height of 73 meters, Qutub Minar is the tallest brick minaret in the world. Its construction was started in 1192 by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the founder of the Delhi Sultanate, and later completed by his successors including Iltutmish and Firoz Shah Tughlaq.
Built primarily from red sandstone and marble, the minaret is adorned with intricate carvings and Quranic inscriptions. The elegant fluted design, five tapering stories, and elaborate balconies make it a true masterpiece of Indo-Islamic art.
A Monument Etched in Time
The Qutub complex is more than just a towering minaret. As you stroll through its stone-paved courtyards, you’ll encounter ancient structures like:
-
Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque – the first mosque built in India after the Islamic conquest.
-
The Iron Pillar – a 1,600-year-old metallurgical wonder that hasn’t rusted, baffling scientists for decades.
-
Ala’i Darwaza – a magnificent gateway with exquisite latticework.
Each monument whispers stories of dynasties, devotion, and design, making it a perfect cultural stop for history lovers and casual visitors alike.
How to Get There
Located in Mehrauli, South Delhi, Qutub Minar is easily accessible from any of our partner accommodations under Lekhwar Hospitality. We’re happy to arrange guided tours, private transfers, or recommend local eateries and cafes near the monument for a complete day out.
