(Jan. 6) This is the massive entry way to Red Fort. Remants of a moat that surrounded the fort are still evident. Red Fort is left from the Mughal Empire (approx. 1500 and beyond). The founder of the Mughal line was Babur, a descendant of Ghenghis Khan.

These are buildings that you will find behind the walls of Red Fort. It is a fantasy land, with baths, fountains, temples, and royal quarters.




Below, to the left, in the rear, you can see a throne stand of marble. The throne, once gilt in gold and silver, is gone. It is easy to imagine the grandeur of the past.
