It would however be a shame to focus only on the minaret, as there are many other attractions there.  I was particularly drawn to the beautiful carvings on those pillars made magnificent by the soft evening light.<\/p>\n<p>Delhi was an incredible city.  I have more pictures to share from Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, Humayun&#8217;s Tomb and Chandni Chowk, my favorite part of Old Delhi.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3229\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3229\" style=\"width: 2880px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/0G3B2228.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/0G3B2228.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful Carved Pillars in Qutab Minar\" width=\"2880\" height=\"1920\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/0G3B2228.jpg 2880w, https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/0G3B2228-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/0G3B2228-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/0G3B2228-280x187.jpg 280w, https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/0G3B2228-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/0G3B2228-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2880px) 100vw, 2880px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3229\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beautiful Carved Pillars in Qutab Minar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my first day in India, I had a busy schedule visiting as many sites as I could in Delhi, knowing I&#8217;d be leaving the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3229,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[261,513,295,514,284,512,511,108],"class_list":["post-3224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel","tag-architecture","tag-carvings","tag-delhi","tag-historical","tag-india","tag-medieval","tag-qutab-minar","tag-sunset"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3224"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3224\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3230,"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3224\/revisions\/3230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shiromi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
