Red Fort heritage walk: Discover what happened on Shah Jahan’s coronation day and more

This weekend, get ready to be served with history on your platter.
Built as Qila-e Mubarak in the year 1638 by the fifth Mughal ruler, Shah Jahan, the Red Fort has seen several centuries come and go.

With walls standing as high as 75 ft, the fort was primarily made to keep out invaders. The fort is located in the heart of Old Delhi, and draws numerous curious tourists even now.
The Red Fort complex has mini palaces, entertainment halls, luxurious baths and indoor canals, geometrical gardens, and also an ornate mosque. The complex also has Hall of Public Audience (Diwan-e-Aam) and the Hall of Private Audience (Diwan-e-Khaas), which is smaller as it was meant to accommodate only khaas or special people.


For those who wish to explore the Red Fort like never before, a special heritage walk named Raat Ke Afsane - Night Walk is being organised this weekend. It will precisely narrate the series of episodes that occurred at the time of Shah Jahan’s coronation and much more.

Participants can park their vehicle near the Sunheri Masjid Parking.
