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.
