It was built by Sultan Alauddin Khalji in 1311 and is made of red sandstone. It is a World Heritage Site. BackgroundThe Alai Darwaza was built by Sultan Alauddin Khalji of the Khalji dynasty in 1311. It was a part of his plan to extend the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque on four sides. Although he planned to construct four gates, only the Alai Darwaza could be completed as he died in 1316.[1] It serves as the southern gateway of the mosque.[2] It is located at the southern part of the Qutb complex.[1] In 1993, the Darwaza and the other monuments of the complex were designated a World Heritage Site.[3] ArchitectureAlai Darwaza is the first Indian monument which was built using Islamic methods of construction and ornamentation.[2] The Darwaza is made up of a single hall whose interior part measures {{convert|34.5|ft|m}} and exterior part measures {{convert|56.5|ft|m}}.[1] It is {{convert|60|ft|m}} tall and the walls are {{convert|11|ft|m}} thick.[4] The height of the dome is {{convert|47|ft|m}}.[1] It is also the first true dome built in India, as previous attempts to construct a true dome were not successful.[1] The entire Darwaza is made up of red sandstone with white coloured marbles inlaid between on the exterior walls.[5] There is extensive Arabic calligraphy on the walls of the Darwaza. The arches are horseshoe shaped,[4] the first time such arches were used in India. The façade has pre-Turkish carvings and patterns.[1] The windows have marble lattices. Surface decoration consists of interweaved floral tendrils and is repeated with a symmetry on three doorways.[1][6] GalleryReferences1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite book |author1=Renu Saran |title=Monuments of India |date=2014 |publisher=Diamond Pocket Books Pvt Ltd |isbn=9789351652984 |url=https://books.google.co.in/books?id=xHNOBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT21&dq=alai+darwaza+location&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjLysaZ3ZXhAhVu6nMBHeGID6YQ6AEIODAD#v=onepage&q=alai%20darwaza%20location&f=false}} {{Qutb complex}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Alai Darwaza}}2. ^1 {{cite web |title=Qutb Minar |url=http://asi.nic.in/qutb-minar/ |publisher=Archaeological Survey of India |accessdate=22 March 2019}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=Qutb Minar and its Monuments, Delhi |url=http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/233 |publisher=UNESCO |accessdate=22 March 2019}} 4. ^1 {{cite book |author1=Ronald Vivian Smith |title=The Delhi that No-one Knows | page = 4 | date=2005 |publisher=Orient Blackswan |isbn=9788180280207}} 5. ^{{cite book |author1=Ghulam Sarwar Khan Niazi |title=The Life and Works of Sultan Alauddin Khalji |date=1992 |publisher=Atlantic Publishers & Dist |isbn=9788171563623 |page=144}} 6. ^{{cite book |author1=Margaret Prosser Allen |title=Ornament in Indian Architecture |date=1991 |publisher=University of Delaware Press |isbn=9780874133998 |page=144}} 8 : Buildings and structures in Delhi|Tourist attractions in Delhi|Islamic architecture|Khalji dynasty|Mehrauli|World Heritage Sites|World Heritage Sites in India|Alauddin Khalji |
