According to the Delhi Tourism website, An inscription over its (Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque) eastern gate provocatively informs that it was built with material obtained from demolishing '27 Hindu temples'.
Earlier, the ministry announced that all sites and museums under the ASI would remain closed till May 15. But later it was extended till May 30.
Government's aggressive social distancing pitch coupled with Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) shutting all its protected sites from Tuesday has left Delhi's two iconic structures the Qutub Minor and Lotus Temple desolate, giving an eerie feeling.

Among many antiquities unearthed, is a life-sized Vishnu sculpture and a wide variety of pottery of the early centuries of the current era.
The ASI's statement came in response to an RTI query by a Ludhiana-based activist Rohit Sabharwal asking whether the precious gem was a gift to the British or its possession was transferred for some other reason.
