Vijay Stambh (Tower of Victory) Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, India is one of the key tourist attractions. Built by Rana Kumbha in 1440 AD to celebrate his victory over Mahmud Khilji of Malwa, the tower took 10 years to build. 
Dedicated to Vishnu, this 37.19 m high, 9 storied tower is a remarkable piece of architecture. It is built partly of red sand stone and partly of white marble
and is enriched by numerous images of Hindu Gods and Goddesses.

There are around 157 narrow steps leading to the terrace from where one can have a beautiful view of Chittorgarh town and the fort. The uppermost floor has 
been sealed off and is no longer accessible to visitors 
Is it similar to Vishnu Stambh / Qutub Minar ?
