About Red Fort
The Red sandstone walls of
the massive Red
Fort (Lal Qila) rise 33-m above the clamour of Old Delhi
as a reminder of the magnificent power and pomp of the Mughal emperors. The
walls, built in
1638, were designed to keep out invaders, now they mainly
keep out the noise and confusion of the city.
The main gate, Lahore
Gate, is one of the emotional and symbolic focal points of
the modern Indian nation and attracts a major crowd on each Independence Day.
The vaulted arcade of Chatta
Chowk, a bazaar selling tourist trinkets, leads into the huge fort compound.
Inside is a veritable treasure trove of buildings, including the Drum House,
the Hall of
Public Audiences, the white marble Hall of Private Audiences,
the Pearl Mosque, Royal
Baths and Palace of Color.
An evening sound and light show re-creates events in India's history connected
with the fort.
