| Description |
The Qutub Minar, also spelled as Qutab Minar, or Qutb Minar, is the tallest minaret in the world made up of bricks. The minaret forms a part of the Qutab complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauli area of Delhi, India. Qutub Minar is a 73-metre (239.5 feet) tall tapering tower of five storeys, with 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. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qutb_Minar" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qutb_Minar</a> Before 1974, the general public was allowed access to the top of the minaret, via the internal staircase. On 4 December 1981, the staircase lighting failed. Between 300 and 400 visitors stampeded towards the exit, and 47 were killed in the crush and some were injured. Most of these were school children. Since then, the tower has been closed to the public. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qutb_Minar#Accident" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qutb_Minar#Accident</a> 2015in01-1dlh_032 |
