Red Fort, also known as Lal Qila, a red sandstone Mughal fortress, is a historic fort in the city of Delhi in India. It was the main dwelling of the emperors of the Mughal dynasty for almost 200 years, until 1856. It is a breathtaking architectural masterpiece that is beautiful outside and spellbinding inside! Stunning artwork has been showcased inside this red fortress which will leave you mesmerized. From marble hallways to carved and painted ceilings, this place is a wonderful treat to the eyes. Apart from accommodating the emperors, it was also the official and political center of the Mughal state. The Red Fort’s innovative architectural style, including its garden design, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 as part of the Red Fort Complex. Every year on the Independence Day of India (15 August) the Indian "tricolor flag" is hoisted by the Prime Minister at the main gate of the fort, where he delivers a nationally broadcast speech from its ramparts.
