The 73-metre fluted sandstone minaret with its intricate calligraphic and floral carvings is one of India's most photogenic structures. Morning light from the east creates deep shadow play in the carved recesses. Compose from the ground looking up for dramatic perspective, or step back into the Quwwat-ul-Islam courtyard for context shots with the Iron Pillar.
