The Qutb complex (Hindi: क़ुतुब परिसर, Urdu: قطب پرِسر), also spelled Qutab or Qutub, is an array of monuments and buildings at Mehrauli in Delhi, India. The construction of Qutb Minar was intended as a Victory Tower, to celebrate the victory of Mohammed Ghori over Rajput king, Prithviraj Chauhan, in 1192 AD, by his then viceroy, Qut-bu-din Aibak, who later became the first Sultan of Delhi of Mamluk dynasty. After the death of the commissioner, the Minar was added upon by his successor Iltutmish (aka Altamash) and much later by Firoz Shah Tughlaq, a Tughlaq dynasty, Sultan of Delhi in 1368 AD.
Qutb Minar is perhaps the tallest brick minaret in the world, inspired by the Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan. It is an important example of early Afghan architecture, which later evolved into Indo-Islamic Architecture. The Qutb Minar is 72.5 metres (239 ft) high, has five distinct storeys, each marked by a projecting balcony carried on muqarnas corbel and tapers from a diameter 14.3 metres at the base to 2.7 metres at the top, which is 379 steps away. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with surrounding buildings and monuments. https://t.cn/Ryh6x8y

Qutub Minar之后的扩大工作是由Alauddin Khilji完成的 没错 就是电影Padmaavat里的大反派 现实中他并不是侵略者 他除了是一位出色的有战略性的统治者 当时的印度在经济发展上有了突破性的进展 历史学界也提出Alauddin还在建筑物业上的贡献也很大 以下的就是由他完成的 著名的Alai Darwaza和他自己的Madrasa “what Delhi’s architecture is today, is because of Khilji” 德里王朝时期的建筑风格是最初的伊斯栏风格 也成为了之后的莫卧儿帝国建筑模范

#!n·好赞#咋斋普尔的城市宫殿的(City Palace)附近，有一座高耸的冲天塔（Iswari Minar Swarga Sal），通过小小、窄窄的环形楼梯爬到塔的顶端，俯瞰整座斋普尔。杰伊辛格之子Iswari建造了冲天塔，在国家破败之时，不屈于马拉地军队，选择在月神殿里让一条毒舌咬死自己。他的21位妻妾在他的葬礼上实行jauhar（集体殉葬）仪式。
