Presents the story of the fort of red sandstone built by the Mughal emperor Shahjahan (1628-58). Originally known by the name Qila-i-Mubarak - the Fortunate or Auspicious citadel - Red Fort's construction began in April 1639 and was completed in 1648, though over the years its character has changed according to the uses to which it has been put.
