Built in Red Sand stone this imposing fort is 3 kms in perimeter with
the height of the wall varying from 18 to 30 meters at places. When
the Red fort was being built Yamuna used to flow on its one sides
and there were deep moats on the other. Today Yamuna flows almost
a kilometer away from the fort and the moats have dried up. In the
evening the Delhi Tourism organises a light and sound show which narrates
the history of Delhi in context of the Red Fort. The Lahore gate,
the main entrance, has some emotions and sentiments attached with
the Indian independence as the Tricolour flutters on the top of this
gate. On 15th August the Indian Prime minister addresses the nation
from here. As soon one enters in the fort from the Lahore gate There

Thursdays's during the Mughal era.
