Red Fort
Delhi, India
The Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a magnificent red sandstone fortress that stands as a symbol of India's rich history. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, it served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors for nearly 200 years. The fort complex houses several ex quisite structures, including the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience), the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), and the stunning Rang Mahal (Palace of Colors). The fort's intricate carvings, impressive arches, and symmetrical gardens showcase the zenith of Mughal architectural prowess. Every year on India's Independence Day, the Prime Minister hoists the national flag here and delivers a speech to the nation, a tradition that underscores its historical significance. The Red Fort is a testament to the grandeur of the Mughal Empire and a crucial landmark in India's struggle for independence.

The fort is built of red sandstone and has a semi-octagonal shape with a circuit of over 2 kilometers. Its walls, which are 18 meters high, are a defining feature. The Diwan-i-Khas and the Rang Mahal are notable for their intricate marble work, floral decorations, and inlaid stonework. The fort's design, attributed to architect Ustad Ahmad Lahauri, also features a system of interconnected channels, known as Nahr-i-Bihisht (Stream of Paradise), which carried water to various pavilions and courtyards, creating a serene and beautiful environment.
