Water, food you are accustomed to
by OSV_Alero
Pack food and water, because 50% of the people that visit end up sick. Opened toe sandels will get your feet very dirty, and you stand the chance of diseases if you get cut. Bring soft toliet paper, because the bathrooms in India tend to use stuff that feels like wood. Film is easy to get, and not very expensive, so no need to pack it, just make sure you know the price of film before going, so you know what to negotiate for as a price. Food, water, food, water. Don't forget to pack some. Though you can buy bottled water, it tastes kinda funny. Like drinking tap water in LA.

Lotus Temple
by Hind_S
The Lotus Temple is an architectural gem. It is a temple of the Bahai faith, which welcomes people of all religions to meditate or just have a look inside.
Its a gleaming white building built to resemble the lotus flower, India's national flower. It sits atop a little hill surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and some interesting views, the nicest of some beautiful hindu temples in the distance.
I would have loved to take some photos of the interior, but it isn't allowed. As you approach the building you are given instructions in your language to be quiet inside, turn off your phones and not take pictures.
The interior is just one big hall with rows of benches. The temple is also flanked by some reflective pools on the exterior, which you should climb down to to get some great views of the temple.
-No shoes inside. You are provided with a bag and instructed to take your shoes to a a clean and efficient shoe storage before entering.
-No entrance fee
-Closed on Mondays
Qutab Minar
by Rupanworld
Qutub Minar is the world's tallest brick structure. It is 72 meters high (237.8 ft) and has 379 steps leading to the top. However, the entrance is now closed due to the risk involved in climbing the steps. The base diameter is 14.3 meters and the top diameter is 2.75 meters. It has five storeys. It is inspired by the design of the Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan and the attempt was to make it taller. The construction of this tower was started in 1193 under the orders of India's first Muslim ruler from the slave dynasty Qutub-ud-din Aibak. However he died after completing only the first storey. The next three storeys were completed by his successor Iltutmish while the topmost storey of the minaret was completed in 1386 by Firuz Shah Tughluq. The difference of the kings constructing the minaret is reflected in the difference in design of the various storeys.
The entire complex consists of a number of ancient and medieval structures and ruins and is collectively known as Qutub complex. The Qutub complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a very popular tourist destinations in Delhi.
There is a controversy as to whether the minaret was named after Qutub-ud-din Aibak who commenced its construction or after Qutub-uddin Bakhtiar Kaki, the saint from Baghdad who came to live in India and was greatly respected by Iltutmish.
