இடம் :தில்லியில் உள்ள பழங்கால இந்து கோயிலொன்றை ஆக்கிரமித்து கட்டப்பட்ட “குதுப் மினார்”.

இத்தூண்கள் மினாரைச் சுற்றி அழகிய வேலைப்பாடுகளோடு இருந்தாலும், பெரும்பாலானவை சிதைக்கப்பட்ட சிற்பங்களோடு இருப்பது மனதுக்கு மிகவும் வேதனை அளித்தது.

It’s become Islamic, but. . .
I give up. I’ll be really embarrassed if I’ve been there

Very interesting - I had no clue just kept thing various parts of TN!! Qutub Minar..there is also some reserch stating even the Taj was originally a Rajput construction though (not proven).

Yes Vijay… from all the contents… though I initially did not identify the location… my memory came back running. for I had seen the superimposing of the Islamic style of architecture over what clearly seem the pre-existing Hindu structures in the Qutub complex.
