Probably the oldest surviving piece of architecture by any Hindu king in the capital of India. It's material continues to amaze and baffles historians and metal scientists alike. The fence is erected around the pillar ensures the upkeep of the monument.

It's Osm Technology. The Iron pillar (of Delhi) is a structure made during Gupta emperor Chandragupta II's reign between 380-415 CE. It is a magnificent monument weighing 6,614 lbs or 3,000 kgs. The 7-metre tall pillar's most unique feature is that it is rust-resistant and is of extremely high quality. Originally the pillar was raised at Udayagiri Caves in Madhya Pradesh, central India. The pillar was created by Chandragupta for his devotion to Lord Vishnu, Hindu god of preservation and commemorate his career successes, and honour his queen. The pillar wall contains Gupta-era Sanskrit inscriptions. Scientists around the world who have studied the famous pillar agree it is a testimony to the high standard of skill achieved by ancient Indian metallurgy. Indeed, the structure (made of 99% iron) has survived for over 1,600 years and counting and has little sign of degradation

It was originally built by Chandragupta II which today stands in the Qutub complex with a height of 7.21 metres (23 feet 8 inches) and a diameter of 41 centimetres (16 inches). The rust-resistant nature of the metals used during construction has made it famous. The three-tonne (6,614- pound) pillar is said to have been built somewhere beyond the Udayagiri Caves and moved to its current location by Anangpal Tomar in the 11th century.

One of the best masterpiece of the ancient India. Don't forgot to read iron pillar history and sculpture engraved on this.

It was built by chandragupta II and now stands in the Qutub complex at Mehrauli in Delhi, India. The metals used in its construction have a rust-resistant composition. The pillar weighs more than six tonnes and is thought to have been erected elsewhere, perhaps outside the Udayagiri Caves,and moved to its present location by Anangpal Tomar in the 11th century.

The Iron Pillar of Delhi is a structure 7.21 metres (23 feet 8 inches) high with a 41-centimetre (16 in) diameter that was constructed by Chandragupta II (reigned c. 375–415 AD), and now stands in the Qutb complex at Mehrauli in Delhi, India. It is famous for the rust-resistant composition of the metals used in its construction. The pillar weighs more than 6 tonnes and is thought to have been erected elsewhere, perhaps outside the Udaygiri Caves and moved to its present location by Anangpal Tomar in 11th century. The pillar carries a number of inscriptions of different dates, some of which have not been studied systematically despite the pillar's prominent location and easy access.

My visit to the Iron Pillar at the Qutub Complex in Delhi was a unique and intriguing experience. This remarkable iron structure, which has stood for over a thousand years without rusting, left me in awe of ancient Indian metallurgy and engineering. As I approached the Iron Pillar, I was struck by its imposing presence and the sheer size of the iron column. The pillar stands at an impressive height and is covered in inscriptions in the Sanskrit script. The intricate carvings and the historical significance of these inscriptions added to the sense of wonder. What fascinated me most was the scientific mystery behind the Iron Pillar's resistance to rust. It was incredible to think that this iron structure had withstood centuries of exposure to the elements and remained remarkably corrosion-free. The guides on site provided insightful explanations about the composition of the iron and the techniques used in its creation, but the exact secret behind its rust-free nature remains a subject of scientific intrigue. While the Iron Pillar itself is not as visually ornate as some other historical monuments, its historical and scientific significance more than compensates for it. It serves as a testament to the advanced metallurgical knowledge of ancient India. Visiting the Iron Pillar was a thought-provoking experience that left me with a deep appreciation for the achievements of ancient Indian craftsmen and engineers. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in history, science, or engineering and offers a glimpse into the remarkable capabilities of our ancestors.

It is something thing that you would have never experienced, this Iron Pillar has not rusted since its inception, moreover it is in contact with the environment 24x7. Its metallurgical skills really require applause from the people living in these modern times...

The Iron Pillar, Delhi The Mehrauli Iron Pillar was built during the early Gupta dynasty. The Pillar is famous for its non-rusted state, despite being made of 99% iron, and having been constructed in the 5th century CE, and thus having an existence of around 1600 years. It is believed to have had the emblem of the mythical bird Garuda, the symbol of the Gupta's, at the top, but is now missing.♥️

The Iron Pillar at Qutub Minar Ground is a testament to India's ancient engineering prowess. Standing tall and rust-free for over a millennium, it evokes a profound sense of history and national pride. During my visit with family, the awe-inspiring presence of this iron marvel left us feeling deeply connected to India's rich heritage. Touching the cool iron surface, one can't help but marvel at the craftsmanship of our ancestors. A visit to the Qutub Minar Ground and the Iron Pillar is not just a historical excursion; it's a patriotic journey that resonates with the strength and resilience of our incredible nation.

Visiting here reminds us of our remarkable history. Iron pillar which is rust free till date ❤️

Part of the UNESCO world heritage site Qutb Minar complex. The Pilar was built in the 5th centiry and brought to its current site in the 11th century. A testimony to the high level of skill achieved by the ancient Indian iron smiths.

One of the most important place holding a historical significance of Indian State. It is a nice place to visit with family as well as friends. People, not only form India, but also from abroad, hold a great interest in witnessing these historical monuments. The architect as well as the cravings on the walls are one of a kind and is exemplary. It’s still hard even in 21st century to imitate such a sheer structure. All of the historical buildings nearby have a wow factor and will allure you too. I do recommend to visit this at least once in a lifetime.

Awesome exhibition of traditional Indian scientific knowledge that even today's scientists can't explain.. Awesome authentic and excellent architectural design and work.. India was podcast as snake charmers County but monument like this showcase what Indians are capable of and what knowledge our ancestors hold..

So old

Finally at this One of the Spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Place in My Country named as “The Qutb Minar” ConstructionStarted in 1199 by Qutb-ud-din Aibak / completed in ~ 1220 by his son-in-law Iltutmish Height = 72.5 metres (238 ft) ...The Place and the sculptures were maintained so well and taken care of. ...Best thing was they have started the Scanning barcode and booking ticket online .. advantage is there no long ques and we get the ticket hassle free and it saves wastage of paper tooo ..!!!!

Very strong non corrosive example

This place is very quite and has vibes like you are in middle of jurasic park. In Delhi, there are very less places where there is peace and good food. There is an American Restaurant 'All American Diner's' which has most authentic American food.. The place has small parks and cool breeze, the place is also very photos friendly, the place has very low amount of visitors, so its mostly quite and can soothe your mind. Also, there is free parking in the basement with high security.. Checkout these photos.

It's so lovely place, well maintained. I think that cleanliness has given primary importance. They tried their level best to maintain the piller. It is not rusted even today. We should admire the metallurgy of ancient period. Today we may fail before them to make such a pillar.

The iron pillar structure 7.21 meters high with a 41 centemeter diameter that was constructed by Chandra gupta || and now stands in the Qutub complex at Mehroli in Delhi, The pillar was installed as a trophy in building the Quwwath-ul-islam Mosque and the Qutub complex by sultan Iltutmish in the 13th century, It is famous for the rust resistant composition of the metels used in its construction.

It is a fourth century monument from tbe times of Gupta dynasty. There was an image of Garuda at the top of the pillar. This is a proud sample of great Bhartiya civilization.

The pillar was constructed by Chandragupta II Vikramaditya. It is 7.21-metre high and weighs more than six tonnes. The fascinating fact about the Iron Pillar is that it has not been rusted since the day it was erected. Another striking feature of the Qutub Complex is the Tomb of Iltutmish who was the second Sultan of Delhi. In the centre of the tomb, the main cenotaph of white marble is placed on a raised platform. It has awe-inspiring Islamic architecture.

The iron pillar of Delhi is a structure 7.21 meters high with a 41-centimetre diameter and weighing more than six tonnes, was erected by Chandragupta II Vikramaditya (375–414 CE), (interpretation based on careful analysis of archer type Gupta gold coins) of the Gupta dynasty that ruled northern India 320–540.The metals used in its construction have a rust-resistant composition. Many believe that The Iron Pillar got erected at Udayagiri as this pillar has a close association with the King and Hindu god Vishnu. Also, Udayagiri was famous for iron mining and working. Later, people said that King Iltumish must have brought this pillar to Delhi in the 13th century. The iron pillar is not rusted because it was made of 98% wrought iron. Due to the presence of high amounts of phosphorus (as much as 1 percent against less than 0.05 percent in today's iron) and the absence of sulphur/magnesium in the iron are the main reasons for its remaining rust-free for a long time. The column is an absolute testament to the high level of skill achieved by ancient Indian ironsmiths. There is a prominent indentation from ground level at 400 cm in the middle of the Iron pillar. There is a sign of destruction, too, which is believed to be because of the firing of a cannonball from close. According to the Indian history, people thought that Nadir Shah has even ordered for Iron Pillar destruction in the year 1739. However, many have researched if some precious jewels are present in it.

Fantastic example of ancient Indian art and engineering. There is no trace of rust on the iron pillar after two millennia.

A single entry ticket will give you access to the Iron Pillar and several other monuments including the Alai Minar and a medieval Sundial. Around the pillar are ruins of several Hindu temples that were destroyed by invaders. The ornate carvings on the pillars stand in testimony to the glory and magnificence of the original temple that was constructed several centuries ago. According to the tour guide who showed me the Arabic dome over the entrance that was modified originally from a Hindu temple, from inside it is decorated with the flower petals that is a prominent feature of Hindu architecture. Elsewhere the galleries decorated with pillars reveal the open secret that this was once a flourishing and prominent Hindu temple as seen in the collage below. The entire Qutub Minar complex Being a UNESCO World Heritage site all basic accessibility features were available both outside and inside the monument for the differently-abled. ♿ Accessibility Features Yes = Ramp Access. Yes = A wheelchair-accessible Entrance. Yes = A wheelchair-accessible Parking. Yes = A wheelchair-accessible Restroom/Toilet.

Mehrauli Iron pillar is also a iconic place in India ... We have to protect this piller with glass wall or something. We have to protect from sun or some bad weather because we want this for our future generation👍🏻

It is one of the most unique historical monument located in Qutub Minar Complex in Mehrauli, Delhi, India. You can't imagine the pillar weighs more than 6 tonnes. It is 7.21 metres (23 feet and 8 inches) high from bottom of its base with a 41-centimetre (16 in) diameter. This historical monument allures everyone with its mysterious iron built that has not rusted since its construction. It is a good place to visit.

As the Brahmi inscription on the iron pillar says, the pillar used to be in a city in Madhya pradesh. Weighs a hefty six thousand kilos and carried to Delhi by the Tomars for some reason in the eleventh century. Still no signs of rust. Though you can't really hug it anymore due to the railing put up around it now.

The pillar weighs over three tonnes (6,614 lb) and is thought to have been erected elsewhere, perhaps outside the Udayagiri Caves, and moved to its present location early in the Delhi Sultanate. The height of the pillar, from the top to the top of its base, is 7.21 m (23 ft 8 in), 1.12 m (3 ft 8 in) of which is below ground. Its bell pattern capital is 306 mm (12 in). It is estimated to weigh more than three tonnes (6,614 lb).The pillar has attracted the attention of archaeologists and materials scientists because of its high resistance to corrosion and has been called a "testimony to the high level of skill achieved by the ancient Indian iron smiths in the extraction and processing of iron".The corrosion resistance results from an even layer of crystalline iron(III) hydrogen phosphate hydrate forming on the high-phosphorus-content iron, which serves to protect it from the effects of the Delhi climate

A great metallurgical wonder .. a must place to visit in Delhi

It's hundred years but not affected. Hats off to him. 🧐🧐🧐🧐👍👍👍👍

This is Our Ancient Bharat Before any Mughal,Britishers,Islamic people

Very beautiful place

Wonderful place where students should be taken

It contains verses composed in Sanskrit language, in shardulvikridita metre. It is written in the eastern variety of the Gupta script. The letters vary from 0.3125″ to 0.5″ in size, and resemble closely to the letters on the Allahabad Pillar inscription of Samudragupta. However, it had distinctive mātrās (diacritics), similar to the ones in the Bilsad inscription of Kumaragupta I. While the edges of the characters on the Allahabad inscription are more curved, the ones on the Delhi inscription have more straight edges. This can be attributed to the fact that the Allahabad inscription was inscribed on softer sandstone, while the Delhi inscription is engraved on the harder material (iron).

Seeming out place , the iron pillar stands tall . Casted atleast 2000 years before the qutub minar was even conceptualised. The mystery of the iron pillar and its rust proof technology is still to be revealed.

Great technology of ancient India... The Iron pillar, 5th century CE: The Iron pillar (of Delhi) is a structure made during Gupta emperor Chandragupta II's reign between 380-415 CE. It is a magnificent monument weighing 6,614 lbs or 3,000 kgs. The 7-metre tall pillar's most unique feature is that it is rust-resistant and is of extremely high quality. Originally the pillar was raised at Udayagiri Caves in Madhya Pradesh, central India. The pillar was created by Chandragupta for his devotion to Lord Vishnu, Hindu god of preservation and commemorate his career successes, and honour his queen.

Hi guys I am from BANGALORE and I visited this place on 2/10/22. 1) Its a wonderful pillar which is made of iron 2) it is present inside the Qudub Minar campus only 3) Iron pillar is 23feet 18inch with diameter of 16inch 4) it is built by Chandtagupta II. 5) Its is called as VISHNUSTAMBA. 6) Its weight upto 6tonnes. 7) This pillar is famous for Rust- Resistance technology 8) please bring your children and show them and how our ansisters ahead of every technology before thousands of years ago.

It is a rust-resistant iron pillar that stands around 7.2 meters tall and weighs around 6 tons. The pillar has a diameter of 48 centimeters at the base and 29 centimeters at the top. The history of the Iron Pillar dates back to the Gupta period of ancient India, which is around 4th to 6th century AD. The pillar is believed to have been erected in honor of Lord Vishnu, and it originally stood in the courtyard of a Vishnu temple in the city of Mathura, which is located in the present-day state of Uttar Pradesh in India. The Iron Pillar was later moved to its present location in Mehrauli during the 10th century AD by the Tomar dynasty. It is believed that the pillar was brought to Delhi by King Anangpal Tomar, who had it installed in front of the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque. The mosque was built by the Turkish ruler Qutb-ud-din Aibak, who had captured Delhi from the Tomars in the 12th century AD. The Iron Pillar is a remarkable feat of ancient Indian metallurgy. Despite being exposed to the elements for over 1600 years, the pillar has remained rust-free and has not corroded. This is because of a protective layer of iron oxide that has formed on the surface of the pillar over the years, which has prevented the iron from coming into contact with moisture and oxygen. The Iron Pillar is also famous for the inscriptions that are engraved on it. The inscriptions are in Sanskrit and mention the name of the king who had the pillar erected, as well as the name of the craftsman who created it. The inscriptions also mention the feats of valor of the king and his dynasty. Today, the Iron Pillar is a popular tourist attraction in Delhi and is visited by thousands of people every year. The pillar is considered to be a marvel of ancient Indian engineering and is a testament to the skill and expertise of the craftsmen of ancient India.

The Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque is the earliest surviving mosque in India and stands in the Qutb Minar enclosure in Delhi. The construction was begun in 1193 by Qutb-ud-Din Aibak, the first Sultan of Delhi and founder of the Slave or Mamluk and Dynasty. The mosque was built over the site of large Jain and Hindu temples. One can still find many idols of Jain and Hindu gods at the site. A Gupta dynasty Pillar dating back to the 5th century, known as Iron Pillar stands inside the mosque. Although it is made of iron, it has resisted rust for over 1,500 years. It is believed that after the death of Qutb-ud-din, many rules involving Alauddin Khalji and Illtutmish contributed to the expansion of the mosque.

Iron pillar, one of the metallurgical marvellous of Chandragupta ll (Vikramaditya), and "Rust free" even being made of Iron and after 1600+ yrs. Its amazing and fascinating equally to imagine how Indians had the knowledge of alloys and metallurgical technologies in ancient times. As a mechanical engineer (passed from top state Govt clg), this is one of my life time memories and treat to my eye. Thank you Govt of India for every arrangement and facilities that you are providing at the Heritage site.

Great example of Galvanizing Iron by Zinc. Many years ago they know the concept of Galvanisation. India is great not only by its people live here it is also great dur to such miraculous structures built in past. Really the Iron pillar which we used to study in history texture. I saw and touched by myself. Really mesmerizing experience.

You can witness the architecture of different times and some tombs of different important people in history

Excellent inanimate iron rod! In rod we trust! Best part of my whole trip!

The iron pillar of Delhi is a structure 7.21 metres (23 feet 8 inches) high with a 41-centimetre (16 in) diameter that was constructed by Chandragupta II (reigned c. 375–415 CE), and now stands in the Qutub complex at Mehrauli in Delhi, India.[1][2] The metals used in its construction have a rust-resistant composition. The pillar weighs more than six tonnes and is thought to have been erected elsewhere, perhaps outside the Udayagiri Caves,[3] and moved to its present location by Anangpal Tomar in the 11th century.

Located in the Qutb Complex in Delhi, India, this remarkable iron pillar has defied corrosion for over a millennium, despite being exposed to the elements. Standing at around 7 meters tall and weighing over 6 tons, the pillar's composition of 98% wrought iron with trace amounts of other elements has baffled scientists for centuries. Its unique resistance to rust is attributed to a protective layer of iron hydrogen phosphate forming on its surface, a feat of ancient metallurgy that still captivates researchers today.

It's world famous Nice place and enjoying place Everyone should be came to visit with family and friends

Authentic ancient indian masterpiece made in 5th century, before the invasion of mangols and turks. This is non rusting iron

An iron pillar which is taken from away.

Its bell pattern capital is 306 mm (12 in). It is estimated to weigh more than three tonnes (6,614 lb).[4] The pillar has attracted the attention of archaeologists and materials scientists because of its high resistance to corrosion and has been called a "testimony to the high level of skill achieved by the ancient Indian iron smiths in the extraction and processing of iron".[5][6] The corrosion resistance results from an even layer of crystalline iron(III) hydrogen phosphate hydrate forming on the high-phosphorus-content iron, which serves to protect it from the effects of the Delhi climate.[5]

The iron pillar in India was manufactured by the forge welding of pieces of wrought iron. In a report published in the journal Current Science, R. Balasubramaniam of the IIT Kanpur explains how the pillar's resistance to corrosion is due to a passive protective film at the iron-rust interface. The presence of second-phase particles (slag and unreduced iron oxides) in the microstructure of the iron, that of high amounts of phosphorus in the metal, and the alternate wetting and drying existing under atmospheric conditions are the three main factors in the three-stage formation of that protective passive film.

Magnificent structure

1no.

Loved it

Superb at evening hours

(Translated by Google) The 7 m high pillar probably comes from a Vishnutempel of the 4th century. On it are Sanskrit inscriptions. On top of the pillar stands the Hindu bird god Garuda. The material used was 98% pure iron which does not rust. (Original) Die 7 m hohe Säule stammt wahrscheinlich aus einem Vishnutempel des 4. Jhdts. Darauf befinden sich Sanskrit-Inschriften. Oben auf der Säule thront der hinduistische Vogelgott Garuda. Als Material wurde 98%-iges reinstes Eisen verwendet, das nicht rostet.

Nice place

Wow! amazing place of India

Historical monument... once must visit

Historical place

Heritage Place 7.2 mtr. high Iron Pillar was Constructed by Famous Emperor Chandragupt Maurya. It is Famous for its Rust Resistance Composition of Metal used in its construction. Situated near Qutab Minar Premises, New Delhi.

Heavy

Truly a gem 💎 in the middle of an otherwise incredibly busy South Delhi area- Lodhi Road. Has a big and FREE 2-Level basement parking; kept neat, clean and tidy; the property is plush green with many ornamental plants and flowers. The only downside: Eatopia, their food court is completely closed for in-store dining while the American Dinner is as crowded as always. Overall, safe and secure location to enjoy a quiet and peaceful evening.

India Habitat Centre is on Lodhi Road in Delhi. This has few offices like Teri, open auditorium, exhibition centres, Banquet Halls, convention centre and lot of restaurants. American Diners and Eutopia are for general public and couple of them for members. There is ample parking space in basement. Visited this to meet a friend after a year. Eutopia food court is not open after Covid which was very disappointing. American Diner has extended the reaturant in lawns which make it a good option for weekend lunch with family and friends. #India #Delhi #Restaurants

This place is very quite and has good vibes In Delhi, there are very less places where there is peace and good food.There is an American Restaurant 'All American Diner's' which has most authentic American food.. The place has small parks and cool breeze, the place is also very photos friendly, the place has very low amount of visitors, so its mostly quite and can soothe your mind.Also, there is free parking in the basement with high security.. One of the most remarkable and beautifully architectured campuses in Delhi. It gives the visitors an enormous intriguing impression at the first glance yet it remains till last. Like the name 'habitat' itself, the campus is filled with trees, birds, fish pond, flowers and much more fascinating things that can woe anybody.

Being an Architect, it is one of the prime place to be visited. The premises are beautifully designed with different levels, keeping in the fun alive to explore the place. Different buildings are well connected and aesthetically pleasing. It is a treat for all your senses. You can find office areas, art galleries and eating outlets,etc here. Parking is available for visitors and office staff. It is located at a prime location, with many other which one can explore besides India Habitat Centre ; such as Lodhi Garden, Meharchand Market, Safdurjung Tomb, etc.

A nice place to spend time. Most of the theatres and exhibition halls are closed because of COVID and the foodcourt is also closed. All American Diner and a few other dine in restaurants are open.

It was aesthetically beautiful... Peaceful & soothing.. the little cultural & ethnic ornaments added to the aura of the place today.

A beautiful piece of history spanning over ancient, medieval and modern India.

More than 1500 years old iron pillar. It's chori ka maal. Taken forcefully and now parent part of mosque. Sad

This Pillar is a gem in indian history. It shows us progress India made during ancient times. It never rusts. Good for education and Leisure for the family.

An important relic of ancient India, the mehrauli iron pillar was erected by Chandragupta 2 Vikramaditya. It was later brought to Delhi by Feroz Shah Tughluq. The iron pillar has the mystery of being rust free after so many centuries. The script on it is also famous.

The iron pillar of Delhi is a structure 23 feet 8 inches high with a 16-inch diameter that was constructed by Chandragupta II, and now stands in the Qutb complex at Mehrauli in Delhi, India. It is famous for the rust-resistant composition of the metals used in its construction.

One of the top most tourist spot in new delhi / delhi. Every person must come to visit ancient indian history.

It is place which reminds us of great and glorious past.

The iron pillar of Delhi is a structure 7.21 metres (23 feet 8 inches) high with a 41-centimetre (16 in) diameter that was constructed by Chandragupta II (reigned c. 375–415 CE), and now stands in the Qutb complex at Mehrauli in Delhi, India.[1][2] It is famous for the rust-resistant composition of the metals used in its construction. The pillar weighs more than 6 tonnes and is thought to have been erected elsewhere, perhaps outside the Udayagiri Caves,[3] and moved to its present location by Anangpal Tomar in 11th century

A remarkable innovation by ancient Indian metallurgists who created this rust-free iron pillar. As per the inscription (attached images), the pillar seems to have been created during the reign of Chandragupta II (375 - 413) as used as dhwaja sthamba in Lord Vishnu temple. The location of this pillar within the Qutb complex is awe inspiring, a bit odd, and assimilating of the symbols of power by the successive dynasties that ruled Delhi in the past.

We will be in awe when we know that this place was built for qutub bin aibak who lived in 15th century. Very beautiful structure built with stones, lot to walk and see here. Great architecture. Can be reached through cab or auto. UNESCO world Heritage Site, we as indians, this is a place to be proud of.

This Iron pillar should be before the Mughals came into India. The pillar where it stands is like a Temple complex. The temple pillars are carved like Hindu temple. They have even destroyed the carving on the pillars. The age of that pillar is not known. It is not rusted at all. You can imagine the technology with which the pillar has ben made. The inscription on the pillar is not in Persian or Urdu. It seems like some Indian Language.
