Delhi Capital - March 31s, 2007

This morning I went back to Paharganj where the Main Bayar is to do some beauty treatment. After that I went by the Qutb Minar complex consisting of fine examples of early Afghan architecture buildings dated from the time of Islamic rule in India. The main building is a tall tower of victory from the time of defeat of the last Hindu kingdom in Delhi. It is 13 meters high.
At the foot of this tower is teh first mosque built in India. The original mosque was built on the foundations of a Hindu temple and the inscription over the east gate sazs that it was built with materials obtained from demolishing 27 idolatrous temples.
Todaz it was a very hot day. The weather in Delhi starts to be uncomfortable since it gets very dry and temperatures rise. April and June are probably unbearable temperatures.
I was able to update the India album in the internet, so that is probably the last of India travels.
