We hired a guide to take us through the park. We had to pay for an expensive ticket, so the grounds excluded many people that ordinarily follow us to ask for money. Inside the park were families and the children came up to us and wanted to talk. Our guide was an expert on the site, and also was very happy to take photos for us.

We are at the Kutab Minar. There are many ruins around the structure. There are many spellings for the monument (Qutb Minar). It is a very very hot day in Delhi. I was hiding under my hat from the tropical sun. Dad said it was at least 115 F. This is a tower of victory. It is 72.5 meters tall. It has also been used as a giant sundial.

Work began on this stucture in 1193 by Qutb-ud-din.
