Only negative part I felt is the timings shown online are till 9: 00pm.
But they start vacating the place at 6 only, when it is the best time to click pictures and enjoy the aura of the lights that are there in all the areas.
They start closing all the back side areas.
Only the areas adjacent to qutub minar are left open till 9, as they start the light show there.

Qutub Minar is a magnificent historical monument that I had the pleasure of visiting. Its intricate architecture and rich history make it a must-see attraction. However, there are a few points to consider:

1. Historical Significance: Qutub Minar's historical importance as a UNESCO World Heritage Site cannot be overstated. It's essential to highlight its role in Delhi's history and its connection to the Delhi Sultanate.

2. Architecture: The Indo-Islamic architecture is awe-inspiring, with intricate carvings and calligraphy on the red sandstone structure. Mentioning the detailed craftsmanship is crucial.

3. Preservation: The efforts put into the preservation and restoration of Qutub Minar deserve praise. The surrounding archaeological complex and gardens enhance the overall experience.

4. Crowds: Be prepared for large crowds, especially during peak tourist seasons. It's advisable to visit early in the morning to avoid the rush.

5. Accessibility: Accessibility for differently-abled visitors and amenities like guided tours and information boards could be improved to enhance the overall experience.

Overall, Qutub Minar is a cultural gem that offers a captivating glimpse into India's rich history and architectural heritage.

It is one of the finest monuments in Delhi and very well maintained alongwith very well maintained parks around it.

Beautiful monument iconic to Delhi. Surroundings are well kept and neat. Takes around 1-2 hr to completely stroll around the minar complex. 35 rs for adult entry. Cloak room is also available for keeping bags or other items. From the metro station better to catch an auto as its around 2-3 kms. 20 rs for a shared auto or 50rs for a private one single ride.

Well the machines installed to enter Qutub Minar were not working properly and the security guards were not well trained as well as do not talk properly.

All the information of the places inside to be visited should be published at ticket counter or at the entrance

कुतुब मीनार देश की प्रमुख ऐतिहासिक इमारतों में से एक है। ये साउथ दिल्ली के महरौली इलाके में स्थित है। करीब 238 फीट की ऊंचाई वाला कुतुब मीनार भारत का सबसे ऊंचा पत्थरों का स्तंभ है। कुतुब मीनार इसके आसपास स्थित कई अन्य स्मारकों से घिरा हुआ और इस पूरे परिसर को कुतुब मीनार परिसर कहते हैं।

माना जाता है कि कुतुब मीनार का निर्माण 1199 से 1220 के दौरान कराया गया था। कुतुब मीनार को बनाने की शुरुआत कुतुबुद्दीन-ऐबक ने की थी और उसके उत्तराधिकारी इल्तुतमिश ने पूरा कराया था।

कुतुबुद्दीन ऐबक पृथ्वीराज चौहान को हराने वाले मोहम्मद गोरी का पसंदीदा गुलाम और सेनापति था। गोरी ऐबक को दिल्ली और अजमेर का शासन सौंपकर वापस लौट गया था। 1206 में गोरी की मौत के बाद ऐबक आजाद शासक बन गया और उसने दिल्ली सल्तनत की स्थापना की।

14वीं और 15वीं सदी में कुतुब मीनार को बिजली गिरने और भूकंप से नुकसान पहुंचा था। पहले इसकी शीर्ष दो मंजिलों की फिरोज शाह तुगलक ने मरम्मत करवाई थी। 1505 में सिकंदर लोदी ने बड़े पैमाने पर इसकी मरम्मत कराई थी और इसकी ऊपरी दो मंजिलों का विस्तार किया था। 1803 में आए एक भूकंप से कुतुब मीनार को फिर से नुकसान पहुंचा। तब 1814 में इसके प्रभावित हिस्सों को ब्रिटिश-इंडियन आर्मी के मेजर रॉबर्ट स्मिथ ने रिपेयर कराया था।

The Qutb Minar, also spelled as Qutub Minarand Qutab Minar, is a minaret and "victory tower" that forms part of the Qutb complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauliarea of New Delhi,  India. The height of Qutb Minar is 72.5 meters, making it the tallest minaret in the world built of bricks. The tower tapers, and has a 14.3 metres (47 feet) base diameter, reducing to 2.7 metres (9 feet) at the top of the peak.  It contains a spiral staircase of 379 steps.

Parso-Arabic and Nagari in different sections of the Qutb Minar reveal the history of its construction, and the later restorations and repairs by Firoz Shah Tughluq  (1351–88) and Sikandar Lodi  (1489–1517).

It has five superposed storeys. The lowest three comprise fluted cylindrical shafts or columns of pale red sandstone, separated by flanges and by storeyed balconies, carried on Muqarnas corbels. The fourth column is of marble, and is relatively plain. The fifth is of marble and sandstone. The flanges are a darker red sandstone throughout, and are engraved with Quranic texts and decorative elements. The whole tower contains a spiral staircase of 379 steps.  At the foot of the tower is the Quwat ul Islam Mosque. The Minar tilts just over 65 cm from the vertical, which is considered to be within safe limits. Quotations from the Quran are inscribed on the walls of the monument.

Qutb Minar was an inspiration and prototype for many minarets and towers built. The Chand Minar and Mini Qutub Minar bear resemblance to the Qutb Minar and inspired from it.

Experience was pretty good at this historic place But needed a guide to explore more about qutub minar.
You can take awesome pictures there.

Qutub minar is one of the best places to visit in delhi. Filled up with history and architecture masterpieces. Getting there is quite easy from metro station, just take an auto. Inside qutub minar you won't find any vendors or shops, which is a good thing, so please use the shops on outside.

The architecture of qutub minar is really good. There is an incomplete tower built by Allauddin Khilji, graves of iltumush, iron pillar, some temple kind of remains with Islamic writings and the qutub minar completed by various sultans and India's first masjid

The Qutb Minar, also spelled as Qutub Minar, is a minarer and "victory tower" that forms part of the Qutub complex, a UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE in the Mehrauli area of Delhi, India

Interesting piece of history, I didn't use a guide but it may enhance the experience. Winter is a good time to visit, would likely be extremely hot during summer months.

Qutab minar is a historical place to visit. The construction of qutab minar is started by Qutab-ud-din-Aibak and completed by Iltutamish.

To visit Qutab minar, you must take yellow line and the nearest metro station is Qutab Minar metro station.

Good place to see one of the older Mughal Architectures in the country.

Gives you a good feel of the history and the ruins over there if you do some historical reading online or on Wikipedia before you visit the place.

If you have visited Fatehpur Sikri and the Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal, you can notice the transition or upgrade in the way monuments and buildings were erected over the centuries by different generations of rulers and the significance they held at that point in time.

The Qutb complex are monuments and buildings from the Delhi Sultanate at Mehrauli in Delhi in India. Construction of the Qutub Minar "victory tower" in the complex, named after the religious figure Sufi Sant Khwaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki, was begun by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, who later became the first Sultan of Delhi of the Mamluk dynasty (Gulam Vansh). It was continued by his successor Iltutmish  (a.k. A.  Altamash), and finally completed much later by Firoz Shah Tughlaq, a Sultan of Delhi from the Tughlaq dynasty (1320-1412)  in 1368 AD. The Qubbat-ul-Islam Mosque (Dome of Islam), later corrupted into Quwwat-ul Islam, stands next to the Qutb Minar

A UNESCO world heritage site. Beautiful architecture, the minor has five stories made up of red sandstone.fourth section made by plain marble and fifth one made by both marble and sandstone. There is several historical importance surrounding this complex.

Cool and old place to visit, try to visit early morning or early evening. U will get awesome view and photos. Good for photography and tick-tock.

Don't forget to read all its history before you some here, it always comes handy to do your homework to fully explore and experience this historical place

Dont know ticket queue was too long and i was unable to scan qr code so didnt got the opportunity to see qutub minar

This is one of the historical place of Dehli, this minar is very long in Height and full of carving,
Its side building are little but broken but the view is very beautifull. If you will do Dehli you must visit Qutub Minar

Qutubuddin Aibak, founder of the Delhi Sultanate, started construction of the Qutb Minar's first storey around 1199. In 1220, Aibak's successor and son-in-lawShamsuddin Iltutmish completed a further three storeys. In 1369, a lightning strike destroyed the top storey.  Firoz Shah Tughlaqreplaced the damaged storey, and added one more.  Sher Shah Suri also added an entrance to this tower while he was ruling and Humayun was in exile.

Qutb Minar was established along withQuwwat-ul-Islam Mosque around 1192 byQutb-ud-din Aibak, first ruler of the Delhi Sultanate. The mosque complex is one of the earliest that survives in the Indian subcontinent. The minaret is named afterQutb-ud-din Aibak, or Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki, a Sufi saint. [8] Its ground storey was built over the ruins of the Lal Kot, the citadel ofDhillika. Aibak's successor Iltutmish added three more storeys.

The Minar is surrounded by several historically significant monuments of Qutb complex. The nearby pillared cupola known as "Smith's Folly" is a remnant of the tower's 19th century restoration, which included an ill-advised attempt to add some more storeys.

Great place to learn and explore. Contains the magnificent Iron pillar, the alai darwaja and alauddin khilji's grave in the complex. One of the unesco world heritage sites

Worth a visit if you’ve got spare time in Dehli, some information available in English but could really do with an audio guide. Plenty of people offering to be guides at the gate but no way of checking if they were genuine. Also a little hard to work out which way to move around and what not too miss so perhaps research before. Security guards always after tips for helping with photos!

Fascinating, varied hiatory to this place going back to the 4th century with many religous and cultural influences. Akazing architecture and attention to detail on the minar

Being the place of historic importance, I was excited to see this place. Got impressed after seeing the architectural marvel at qutub minar complex.

You will know lot of important history about this place, if you take the guide along with. Nice ancient and historical place. Well maintained and clean. Entry inside the minar is restricted due to one past incident.

Well overall time pass place. Here nothing interesting. They have large space only for photoshoots and for walking. There is nothing here to see. I have heard that some people have committed suicide. No entry in building of Qutub minar due to some people have committed suicide. Iron pole is not so long. The ruins all around the ruins. No food available, no any cantina or shop.
