Scenes from the Red Fort

Red Fort front
In the older section of Delhi, stands the magnificent Red Fort. Built in 1639 A.D. by the Mughal emperor Shahjahan, it took nearly 10 years to complete.

There was quite a line to even get in.

Once inside, there were several other standing structures that were ornamentally decorated and fascinating to see.
