Lal Qila

Lal Qila, also known as the Red Fort, is a historic fortification located in Delhi, India. Built in the 17th century by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, it served as the main residence for Mughal emperors for nearly 200 years. The fort is named for its red sandstone walls and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its architectural beauty, blending Persian, Mughal, and Indian styles. Lal Qila is an important symbol of India's history and is significant for its role in the country's independence movement, as it is where the Prime Minister raises the national flag on Independence Day.
