Answers
Answer:
The iron pillar of Delhi is a structure 23 feet 8 inches (7.2 metres) high with 16 inches (40.64 cm) diameter that was constructed by Chandragupta II (reigned c. 375-415 CE), and now stands in the Qutb complex at Mehrauli in Delhi, India.[1][2] It is famous for the rust-resistant composition of the metals used in its construction. The pillar weighs over six tonnes (13,228 lb) and is thought to have been erected elsewhere, perhaps outside the Udayagiri Caves,[3] and moved to its present location early in the Delhi Sultanate.
Gol Gumbaz is the mausoleum of king Muhammad Adil Shah, Adil Shah Dynasty. Construction of the tomb, located in Vijayapura , Karnataka, India, was started in 1626 and completed in 1656. The name is based on Gola gummata derived from Gol Gombadh meaning "circular dome". It follows the style of Indo-Islamic architecture. Even a slight whisper by someone standing in its gallery can be heard everywhere else in the gallery, and if somebody claps, the sound of it echoes several times
