ALAI MINAR, an unfinished marvel. Alauddin Khilji conceived this tower to be two times higher than Qutub Minar in proportion with the enlarged mosque. The construction was abandoned, just after the completion of the 80 ft high first-story core; soon after death of Alauddin in 1316, and never taken up by his successors of Khilji dynasty. . . . . . . . #alaiminar #qutubminar #qutubcomplex #qutub_minar #alauddinkhilji #delhisultanate #delhi #delhigram #historical #monuments #ivdiaries #ieontour #throwback #architecture #architecturelove #building_shotz #buildingsofinstagram #history #historical #northindia #unescoworldheritagesite #indiagram #indiantourism #incredibleindia #picoftheday #instagood #instapic #vscoindia #vsco #snapseed #snapseedindia #travelgram #travelblogger #wanderlust (at Qutub Minar)
