Qutab Minar, standing tall as a minaret and symbolizing victory, is an integral part of the Qutb complex situated at the historical site of Lal Kot, Delhi’s oldest fortified city, established by the Tomar Rajputs. The monument with its impressive 399 steps, was predominantly constructed between 1199 and 1220. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauli district of South Delhi, India, it draws in countless visitors annually, solidifying its status as one of the city’s premier tourist attractions. Notably, in recent times, the Qutub Minar has been adorned with vibrant illuminations to mark significant international events. In September 2023, the monument glowed with the colors of the Mexican flag, commemorating Mexico’s 213th Independence Day—an initiative lauded by the Embassy of Mexico in India. Likewise, on October 30, the Turkish flag graced the Qutub Minar, honoring the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey, an occasion embraced with enthusiasm by the Turkish Embassy in New Delhi.
