The towering Red Fort, housed amidst the bustling streets of Old Delhi, echoes the grandeur of India"s rich history. Commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the mid-17th century, it is named for its red sandstone walls, boasting a harmonious blend of Persian, Timurid and Indian architectural styles. From the majestic Lahori Gate to the intricate designs of the Diwan-i-Khas, each alcove tells a story.
