Through the gateways of history
The towering Red Fort, housed amidst the bustling streets of Old Delhi, echoes the grandeur of India's rich history. Commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the mid-17th century, it is named for its red sandstone walls, boasting a harmonious blend of Persian, Timurid and Indian architectural styles. From the majestic Lahori Gate to the intricate designs of the Diwan-i-Khas, each alcove tells a story.
