Dilli's Red Fort


By NL Batra

Delhi's Red Fort: The Citadel by the River was inaugurated with great fanfare. The Mughal emperor Shah Jahan arrived with a grand retinue. Prince Dara Shikoh scattered gold and silver coins over his father's head as he walked up to the gates. The palaces were decorated; the courtyards covered with rich carpets and colourful hangings.

The Red Fort is known by many names such as Qila-i-Mubarak (the fortunate citadel) or Qila-i-Shahjahanabad. It gets its colour from red sandstone and is also known as the Lal Qila. Here is where the kings lived; the knights fought valiantly. Indeed, this magnificent monument bears testimony to another time, another world.
