Delhi Tour

Its grandeur befits the grandeur of the new and global city that New Delhi is emerging into while its architecture tries to assimilate elements of previous styles, trying to create a continuity between past and present. The many exhibits and shows that are on offer provide a panoramic view of Indian tradition and modernity.

The monument is crafted fit for kings, with a Hamam i.e. the bath house, Royal Chambers and a court complete with the beautiful throne and marble work. The Red Fort also played a central role in the unfolding of the first war of Independence from the British in India, where mutinying soldiers marched to the throne to ask the then Emperor to lead their forces against the British. At one time enhanced by the beauty of the Yamuna flowing behind it and the famous Jama Masjid visible from its windows, the Red Fort today is one of the most popular and important tourist places in the city.

There are intricate inscriptions of Persian, Arabic and Devnagri on its ornate walls. The minar is flanked by many other smaller monuments, the most significant among them being the Iron Pillar, hailed as a metallurgical wonder due to its rust free smoothness and the quality of the Iron and craftsmanship.
