The Qutub Minar happens to regarded as the highest stone tower in India, with a height of 388ft- having a total of 379 steps-making it a five storied stone structure, it would be strange surprise to know that the height of the Qutub Minar happens to be 5ft less than that of the Taj Mahal.
The construction of the Qutub Minar has involved not just one emperor but three Mugal emperors.
Qutbud- Din Aibak started the construction of the minar as a tower of victory, he completed the first storey, after his death his successor Lituimish completed the second, third and fourth storey. The minar was struck by the lightening – the renovation work was carried out by Firuz Tughluq – further adding another storey—therefore now the final Qutub Minar as we see it today is a five storied stone structure.
The construction of the minar speaks for its might making it a perfect example of a stone minar known to exist anywhere.
