Red Fort is situated near Yamuna River. It is made up of red sand stone. It was constructed by Shah Jahan during the period of 1639-48. Within this huge fort there are several magnificent buildings. Apart from Diwan-e-Khas, Shah Jahan constructed Rang Mahal, Nahar-i-Bahisht and Diwan-e-Am. In the Red Fort of Delhi, Shah Jahan had got a throne constructed for sitting which was studded with diamonds and pearls known as Takhat-i-Tahus. It was constructed under the supervision of Badal Khan. It costed about five crores of rupees and took a little more than seven years to complete. The canopy of this wonder-throne was supported by twelve pillars, each of which bore two peacocks encrusted with gems. The peacock throne was 3 yards in length, 2 yards in width and 5 yards in height. This throne was used by the Mughal Emperors until 1739 when Nadir Shah carried it away. The Red Fort has long been considered a symbol of control over India. It was from the ramparts of the Red Fort that the first Indian Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, on 15th August, 1947, announced that India was free from colonial rule of Britishers.
The Red Fort is one of the famous buildings of Delhi. It is made of red sandstone.It was constructed in 16th century by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. It is situated on the west bank of the River Yamuna. It was built by Shah Jahan, in a Mughal Emperor. Chandni Chowk, the well-known market of Delhi, is near the Red Fort. A similar fort was also built under the orders of the Emperor at Agra. This is now known as Agra Fort. This faces the Taj Mahal, on the opposite side of the river.
Some of the notable rooms in the Red Fort are the Diwan-i-Khas beautifully decorated with ivory figures and precious inlaid stones. These decorations remain through the precious stones have long been taken away by robbers from time to time. The world famous Peacock Throne was also placed here.It was taken by Nadir Shah to Iran after his conquest of Delhi.
During the British Rule, the famous trial against the officers of the Azad Hind Fauj led by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose took place here. Nowadays our Prime Minister unfurls the national flag here on 15th August every year to observe the Independence Day and gives his message to the nation. Other notable things in the Red Fort are the Moti Masjid, the War Museum and Hammam (Royal bathrooms). We can see the Red Fort only by purchasing tickets, which are available just outside one of the gates of the Fort.
It makes us remember the days of our slavery, and we should take a vow to work to uphold independence.
