What is the Mahabharata all about?
Verified Answer
The iron pillar at Mehrauli, Delhi, is a remarkable example of the skill of Indian crafts persons.
It is made of iron, 7.2. m high, and weighs over 3 tonnes.
It was made about 1500 years ago. We know the date because there is an inscription on the pillar mentioning a ruler named Chandra, who probably belonged to the Gupta dynasty.
