This is historical place which is located Southeast Of Idgah, Hauz Khas Enclave in south Delhi. Actually I visited Hauz khaz village but after that my friend insisted to visit this place. Chor Minar or 'Tower of Thieves' is a 13th-century minaret with 225 holes, situated just off Aurobindo Marg in the Hauz Khas area, in New Delhi. It was built under the rule of Alauddin Khalji, of the Khalji dynasty in the thirteenth century.

This Minar was Built by Alauddin Khilji to hang the heads of thieves, prisoners and other offenders of the State. When you will see the tower closely you will find multiple holes in the structure? There are 225 such holes. Now imagine each hole supporting a spear, on which is impaled a human head. .nSome people now say this is one of the Haunted Tower and afraid to go nearby in Late Night to this Tower.

Enjoyed visiting and learning about this slice of Delhi's history. Legend has it that Allauddin Khilji, after repelling the Mongol invasions in the late 13th & early 14th centuries , severed the heads of the Mongol invaders and displayed them in the crevices of the Minar. Moving back to the present, it was amazing, and rather fitting to see families and children playing around a monument with such a morbid and bloody history - one all too forgotten and forgiven thanks to the heavy hands of time.
