NEW DELHI: The culture ministry on Monday said discussions are under way to conduct an iconography of the Hindu and Jain idols found in Delhi’s Qutub Minar complex and to see if they can be labelled and displayed at an interpretation centre that is intended to come up on the Unesco world heritage site.
A senior official said that while the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, adjoining the Qutub Minar, was built with stones from temples, and such idols in different forms can be seen all around, there are no plans, at present, to reinstate or displace them from where they are.
