White Minaret, Religious minaret in Qadian, India

The White Minaret stands 32 meters tall with three distinct stages and 92 steps, featuring bright lights at its summit and a clock encased in white marble.

Construction of the minaret began in 1903 under Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's direction, paused due to funding constraints, and reached completion in 1916 under the second Ahmadiyya caliph.

The minaret appears on the Ahmadiyya flag and publications, representing the movement's connection to prophecies about the return of the Promised Messiah.

The structure includes three accessible levels connected by staircases, with guided tours available through local community members who explain its architectural and religious significance.

The clock installation occurred in 1933, seventeen years after the minaret's completion, adding a functional element to this religious monument.
