Ala'i Darwaza (English: Gate of Alauddin) is the southern gateway of the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque in Qutb Complex, Mehrauli, Delhi, India. It was built by Sultan Alauddin Khalji in 1311 and is made of red sandstone. It is a World Heritage Site.

Background

The 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]

Architecture

Alai 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]
