Detailed Solution

The Iron Pillar was constructed around 1500 years ago. The pillar may have belonged to the Gupta dynasty, as an inscription on the pillar suggests that it was built during the reign of a king named Chandra. This king was known as Gupta dynasty Emperor Chandragupta II (c. 375 - 413/14 CE). The Pillar, which is made of 99 percent iron, is famous for its rusted condition and was built in the 5th century CE.
