The seven meter tall Iron Pillar, a victory pillar, predates the Qutub Minar. What is interesting is the non-corrosive property of the pillar that has withstood the vagaries of the Delhi weather over such a long time. I do remember people used to hug the pillar backwards for good luck earlier but now there is a small enclosure surrounding the pillar and one cannot touch the pillar anymore. Behind the Iron Pillar are the huge, beautifully cared arches of the Quwwatul-Islam Masjid. #Delhi #Mehrauli #picoftheday #photooftheday #ClimberExplorer #incredibleindia #QutubMinar #UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite #heritage #IronPillar #QuwwatulIslamMasjid #mosque (at Iron pillar)
