Question

tell me about the red fort

Answer 1

Red Fort is the most beautiful historical monument of India. It is located in New Delhi in the centre of the city. It was constructed by the Shah Jahan (the grandson of great Mughal Emperor, Akbar). It is beautifully designed and built after planning of the skilled architectures in the architectural style. It has become the centre of the political achievements and administrative innovations in the country. It is one of the famous historical architectural master pieces like Taj Mahal, Jama Masjid, The Peacock Throne, Moti Masjid, etc. Shah Jahan ruled here from 1627 to 1658 for 31 years (golden age in architecture and fine arts of Mughals).
He ordered the highly skilled and professional architectures to design and built a Red Fort using red sandstone at the west bank of the river Yamuna. It has a museum, beautiful structures like Rang Mahal, Moti Mahal, Diwan-i-Aam and Diwan-i-Khas. The surroundings of the pavilion have been decorated using precious gems, valuable stones, and silver linings. Diwan-i-Khas is beautifully designed and has its walls engraved with following text “If there is anywhere Paradise on earth, It is this, it is this, and it is this”. A Diwan-i-Aam is also built inside it as a Hall of public audience. Another superb structure like Pearl mosque or Moti Masjid is built near the Rang Mahal. Shah Jahan was very famous Mughal emperor and known as the “prince of builders”. At every Independence Day, the Prime Minister of India hoists a national flag here.
