उत्तर
Red Fort - It was built by Shah Jahan after he decided to shift his capital to Delhi. It is located on the banks of the Yamuna. Red sandstone and marble were used in its construction. The fort has massive walls and two gateways. The Western Gateway is known as the Lahori Gate. This gate was used for the emperor’s ceremonial purposes. Among the many impressive buildings in the complex are Diwan-i-Aapi and Diwan-i-Khas. The Diwan-i-Khas is the lavishly ornamented hall where the Peacock Throne was placed. The hall was used by the emperor to give audience to the princes of the royal family, nobles and other important dignitaries. The Red Fort is an important historical monument. Many historical events are connected with this fort. The Prime Minister of India every year unfurls the national flag from its ramparts on Independence Day (August 15).
