An amazing piece of mining engineering during the reign of slave dynasty. The Pillar stands still till date and has no sign of wear inspite of the fact its made of pure iron ore.
Though this pillar was build in a place called "Quilla Rai Pithora" which was the indian architecture when delhi was in the hands of Prithviraj Chauhan. Several Hindu temples were destroyed to build this complex which also holds one of the tallest Minaret of the world, The QUTUB MINAR.
One can still find the sculptures of lord Ganesha and other deities on the pillars.
