Red Fort, Delhi

Red fort at Old Delhi is perhaps the most famous fort in New Delhi. Not particularly for anything but for the fact that the PM unfurls the tri-colour from its ramparts on Independence Day. I cross the red fort once every fortnight or so driving down Raj Ghat from where you can get a glimpse of the Diwan-i-Khas, Shish Mahal, and Rang Mahal. There is a lot of security around the fort after a attact on it few years ago. It is another series of fascinating buildings made by Shah Jahan. The Red Fort was part of his city `Shahjahanabad'.
