An Odyssey to "Qila-i-Mubarak"



21st February,

Dont get it wrong. This odyssey was not an adventurous one. It was just a pleasant visit to the colossal Monument made by Great emperor ShahJahan in 1639 A.D.

Qila-i-Mubarak famously known as Lal-quila which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 is a complete blend of high level of art form and ornamental work.

After entering into Lal -Quila through Lahore gate (main entrance of Lal-quila), we preferred to follow a team of foreigners who were accompanied by a tourist guide who was trying to allay the alacrity of foreigners by elaborating the history of every building inside the monument. There are many important buildings inside the fort premises, DIWAN-I-AM , NAHR-I-BEHISHT, ZENANA(which includes MUMTAZ MAHAL and lavish RANGMAHAL) MOTI MASJID and HAYAT BAKSH BAGH.

RED FORT is an evidence of the aesthetic success of MUGHAL creativity that was predominant during the dominion of SHAH-JAHAN.

If you are coming to Delhi you must visit this all time great monument and taste the alluring art work of Mughal reign.
