Which historical monument is that
Dear Student,
The monument depicted in the picture is the Iron Pillar located in the Qutb Minar complex, Mehrauli, Delhi.
It is 23 feet and 8 inches high with a diameter of 16 inches. It was instated by Chandragupta II of the Gupta dynasty. The most interesting feature of the pillar is its rust-resistant quality. It was earlier initiated elsewhere, some historians say near Udaygiri caves in Madhya Pradesh, and was moved to its present location during the early period of Delhi Sultanate.
The pillar also has various inscriptions from different time periods.
Behind the pillar is the western gateway of the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque commissioned by Qutbuddin Aibak. It was built by using the remnants of over 27 Hindu and Jain temples.
Regards
