I just looked up the details which are interesting; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_pillar_of_Delhi
The photo of the pillar shows it surrounded by protective fence now. The fence went up in 1997.
From link;
"A fence was erected around the pillar in 1997 in response to damage caused by visitors. There is a popular tradition that it was considered good luck if one could stand with one's back to the pillar and make one's hands meet behind it. The practice led to significant wear and visible discoloration on the lower portion of the pillar."
Since I don't remember successfully putting my arms around it, I likely did not.
