Chor Minar, Hauz Khas

Chor Minar or 'Tower of Thieves' is a 13th century minaret with 225 holes.


According to local legends, it was a 'tower of beheading', where the severed heads of thieves were displayed on spear through its 225 holes, to act as a deterrent to others.


 It was built under the rule of Alauddin Khilji
