The Red Fort, with a circumference of over
2.2 kilometers, was built by the banks of
the river, Yamuna in the 17th century.
The fort is a delight to one's imagination.
Imagine the Naqqar Khana (Drum room) also
called Naubat Khana (Welcome Room), where
once drums loudly heralded the arrival of
the emperor and the Diwan-e-Am (Hall of Public
Audience) resounded with the incantations
of the people. Amazing, isn't it? There's
more to see - Mumtaz Mahal, Rang Mahal (Palace
of Colours), Khas Mahal (Emperor's Palace),
Diwan-e Khas (Hall of Private Audience), the
Hammam (bathing area) and Shah Burj. The fort
has two main entrances - Delhi Gate and Lahore
Gate. The latter get its name from the fact
that it faces Lahore in Pakistan. A light
and sound show recreates the history of Delhi
and the Red Fort.
