Qutb-Minar in red and buff standstone is the highest tower in India. It has a diameter of 
14.32 m at the base and about 2.75 m on the top with a height of 72.5 m.
Qutbu’d-Din Aibak laid the foundation of Minar in AD 1199 for the use of the mu’azzin (crier) to give calls for prayer and raised the first storey, to which were added three more storeys by his successor and son-in-law, Shamsu’d-Din Iltutmish (AD 1211-36). All the storeys are surrounded by a projected balcony encircling the minar and supported by stone brackets, which are decorated with honey-comb design, more conspicuously in the first storey.

Surajkund is located 11 km from the Qutab Minar, in Delhi, on the Mehrauli-Badarpur Road.
It is the site of a perennial lake enclosed by rock-cut steps. The remains of the Sun temple, built in 1000 AD by a Tomar chieftain, named Surajpal, can also be seen. It is also the location of the well-known annual Surajkund Crafts Mela, where craftsmen from all over the country assemble during the first fortnight of February to participate.

Raj Ghat
January 18th, 2010 by admin
Raj Ghat is a green peaceful place to visit in Delhi. It’s Mahatma Ghandi’s final resting place 
and it’s inside a quiet well-looked after little park. The memorial itself is very simple: a raised square platform made of black marble and covered in flowers, with a continuous flame burning at one end of it. When I was there, one day after Indedpendence day (15 August) the number of flowers formed a floor covering over the shrine. Entrance to the memorial is free, but you must take off your shoes to go near the shrine. At the entrance there are guarded shelves where you can leave your shoes.
