Thank you for sharing these amazing photos with us! I absolutely love your point of view and the portrait mode you used. Is this place near your hometown? It looks impressive, what were they used for back in the history?
In addition, I will move this to Travel as it fits better there.
Thanks for your comment. Really means a lot. and No, it’s not my hometown. I am a filmmaker, a frequent traveller & I like to explore new places. So this was captured by me few months back when I visited Delhi. Qutub minar was built as a victory tower. Qutb-Ud-Din Aibak, Iltutmish added 3 storeys, Firoz Shah Tughlaq carried out restoration work. It has Indo-Islamic architecture. You must visit this place if you are in Delhi.
@Buntyboss That’s wonderful! Delhi has some pretty amazing buildings and tourist spots, that it would be quite amazing to visit. Looking forward to see more photos coming up!
