Chand Minar, Medieval tower in Daulatabad, India
The four-story Chand Minar rises 63 meters high within the Daulatabad Fort complex, featuring 24 chambers distributed across its different levels.
Sultan Alau'd-din Ahmad Shah commissioned this tower in 1445 to mark the Bahmani Sultanate's military success against the Vijayanagara Empire.
The tower incorporates both Persian architectural elements and Indian design features, with brackets supporting balconies and Persian blue tiles adorning its surfaces.
The structure contains a prayer hall at its base and remains accessible through the main fortress complex, with multiple viewing points available.
The tower stands as the second tallest minaret in India, positioned on a 200-meter hill with a brass crescent moon at its summit.
