The Chor Minar, or Tower of Thieves, is a historic monument located in the Hauz Khas area of South Delhi. Built during the reign of Alauddin Khalji in the 13th century, this minaret is a fascinating relic of the Khalji dynasty.
The structure is notable for its 225 small holes on the exterior, which, according to local legends, were used to display the heads of thieves or captured enemies as a deterrent to crime.
