REDFORT
17th DEC 2011
The students of class 10th explored the Redfort and attended the workshop on photography organised by UNESCO. The walk gave them the opportunity to learn new facts about Redfort.
Lal Quila also called the Red Fort is one of the most important monuments of India. It stands on the bank of river Yamuna. The whole structure is made of Red stone. The fort was built by Shahjahan - the Mughal King who also built the famous Taj Mahal - in 1648. Shahjahan called it the Uru-Muhalla. Shahjahan shifted his capital from Agra to Delhi and Red Fort was the new capital. Lal Quila stands at the eastern side of Shahjahanabad and the very name of "Lal Quila" comes from the huge wall that encloses the whole structure The walls have two entrances, one at the delhi gate and the other at the Lahore gate
