Unscramble the above to get 'Qutub Minar'
Qutub Minar is the tallest brick minaret in the world. The tower is located in South Delhi, India.
The Qutub Minar is 72.5 metres high and requires 379 steps to get to the top. In recent times though, it has not been possible for visitors to ascend the tower due to safety reasons. The diameter of the base is 14.3 metres wide while the top floor measures 2.7 metres in diameter.
The construction of the Qutub Minar was ordered by Qutb-ud-din Aybak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi in the 11th century. He could not complete its construction during his lifetime and in fact, the complete structure was ready only a couple of generations later in the 13th century.
The minaret is made of fluted red sandstone covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur'an.

Nice and easy, with the first word giving a strong indication of the final answer.
Fun and entertaining teaser. I got all of the words fairly quickly but never heard of the answer. Had to look up landmarks in India to figure it out.
