EDITORS COMMENTS
The Red Fort of Delhi, also known as Lal Qila or Lal Qilah, is a magnificent 17th century fort complex that once served as the primary residence of the Mughal emperors in the capital city of Delhi, India. Constructed by the great Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, this architectural marvel was the center of political power and grandeur during the Mughal era. The fort complex, which dates back to circa 1920, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of India. The Red Fort derives its name from the red sandstone used extensively in its construction. The fort complex is a maze of red sandstone walls, towers, and courtyards, adorned with intricate carvings, calligraphy, and geometric patterns. The fort's grandeur is further accentuated by its beautiful gardens, reflecting pools, and ornate palaces. The Red Fort was the seat of Mughal power until 1857 when the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, was exiled by the British Indian government. The fort complex has since then been a symbol of India's rich history and cultural heritage, attracting tourists from all over the world. The Red Fort is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, architecture, or culture. The fort complex offers a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of the Mughal era, providing a unique insight into India's rich history and cultural heritage. The Red Fort is a reminder of the past, a symbol of resilience, and a testament to the enduring spirit of India.
