Detailed Solution

The iron pillar at Mehrauli was made about 1500 years ago. It is a 7.21-meter-high structure with a 41-centimetre diameter that Chandragupta II (reigned c. 375–415 CE) built and now stands near the Qutb complex at Mehrauli. The pillar weighs more than 6 tonnes and is thought to have been erected outside the Udayagiri Caves before being moved to its current location by Anangpal Tomar in the 11th century. It is well-known for the use of rust-resistant metals in its construction.
