Iron Pillars

Iron Pillars are ancient Indian structures made of high-quality wrought iron, dating back around 1,500 years. Located primarily in northern India, they are notable for their impressive rust-resistant quality and craftsmanship. The most famous is in Delhi, standing about 23 feet tall. These pillars showcase advanced metallurgical skills of early Indian artisans, with minimal corrosion despite exposure to the elements over centuries. They are valued for their historical, engineering, and artistic significance, symbolizing India's remarkable past in metallurgy and craftsmanship.
