  Majnu-ka-tilla The area's historical name, Majnu Hill, refers to the tilla or mound where, on July 20, 1505, an Iranian Sufi mystic named Abdulla who went by the moniker Majnu (lost in love) met Sikh Guru Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

It is located in South Delhi, India's Mehrauli neighbourhood, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was mostly constructed between 1199 and 1220 and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.   It can be compared to the 62-meter all-brick Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan, which was built in 1190, roughly a decade before the Delhi tower's likely beginning. Both have intricate geometric designs and inscriptions on their surfaces. The summit of each stage of the Qutub Minar includes a shaft that is fluted with "superb stalactite bracketing under the balconies." Generally speaking, India was late to adopt minarets, and those that do exist are
