Lak Kila( Red Fort)- Delhi


Red Fort is the most famous monument of the Delhi, which I also know as “Lal Qila”. It stands as a powerful reminder of the Mughal emperors who ruled India.

Red Fort walls, which stretch for over 2 kilometers were built in 1638 to keep out invaders. However they failed to stop the Red Fort being captured by the Sikhs and British. To take your imaginations back to ancient era, wonderful a one hour sound and light show of the Fort’s history is held each evening. Diwan-i-Aam, Nahr-i-Behisht, Moti Masjid, Zenana, Hayat Bakhsh Bagh are the important buildings within the court. The Royal Baths, the Shahi Burj, “Palace of Colors” the Rang Mahalor are the other attractions within the monument.
