View of the Qutb Minar, an intricately carved minaret with four galleries. The domes of the Alai Darwaza gatehouse and the Bhool Bhulaiya, or Tomb of Adham Khan, are visible over the surrounding trees on the left side of the image. The arches of the Qutb complex, possibly the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, and a pavilion atop a small hill are visible on the right. Two men stand next to the pavilion, and a third stands at the base of the hill.
