Historical Significance: Built During The Khalji Reign.
About 200m southeast of the Idgah is
the Chor-Minar, a rubble-built tapering tower, rising from a platform and
provided with a staircase in its interior. It was built probably during
the Khalji period.
On its exterior there are several circular holes of unascertained use. It
is believed that the heads of thieves (chor), who were caught and
beheaded, used to be placed in these holes to deter others from engaging
in theft, from which it also derives its name.
