Peek-A-Boooooooo!

New Delhi (India)

Ok...
I know it's not too serious to play in a childish way
while visiting such a great monument,
But I'm in funny mood and I'm enjoying my stay here!
I'll prove you that I'm interested in every detail...
I have just learnt that the decoration of the Qutab Minar
is consistently Islamic in character from base to top;
though the somewhat hybrid style of Firoz Shah's later additions is noticeably distinct.
Numerous inscriptions in Arabic and Nagari characters are seen
as wide encircling bands in the plain fluted masonry of the Minar. T
his inscriptions reveal the history of Qutub,
from its commencement in AD.1199 to its repairs in between..
