Delhi’s Most Visited Monument! Qutub Minar Full Tour & Night Light Show

In this video, Five Colors of Travel takes you to Delhi’s most popular tourist destination: the Qutub Minar. This iconic monument attracts thousands of visitors every day, from international travelers to school groups, all eager to witness one of India’s greatest architectural masterpieces. We explore the entire complex, covering everything from its construction by three different rulers to the mysterious landmarks hidden within its walls. Standing at 73 meters tall with nearly 369 steps, the Qutub Minar remains one of Delhi’s most breathtaking historical sites. We also uncover the lesser-known story behind its main entrance, which has remained locked since 1981–82 after a tragic stampede incident. The tower itself was built in phases by Qutubuddin Aibak, Iltutmish, and Firoz Shah Tughlaq. Discover the stunning Alai Darwaza, a masterpiece of Seljuk-style architecture built in 1311 AD, along with the beautiful Tomb of Imam Zamin, known for its elegant Lodi-style design despite being built during the Mughal era. We also talked about the famous “Smith’s Folly,” a cupola once placed on top of the Minar but later removed because it did not match the original architecture. Visit the historic Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, built using remains of 27 Hindu and Jain temples, where intricate carvings of bells and lotus motifs can still be seen today. We also explore the legendary Iron Pillar of Delhi, a 1600-year-old scientific marvel that remains rust-free even after centuries, along with the fascinating Tomb of Iltutmish, famously known for having no roof. While the carvings and details are best explored during daylight, the real magic begins during the golden hour. Between 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM, the entire complex transforms with a mesmerizing light show, making it one of the best photography and content creation spots in Delhi.
