red front information, about Lal Killa

"Lal Kila" is a common name for the Red Fort, a historic fortification located in Old Delhi, India. The fort was built in the mid-17th century by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who is also known for building the Taj Mahal.

The Red Fort is named for its distinctive red sandstone walls, which are 33 meters high and encompass an area of approximately 254 acres. The fort contains a number of significant structures, including the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience), the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), and the Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque).

The Red Fort was the residence of the Mughal emperors for nearly 200 years, until the British took control of India in the mid-19th century. It was also the site of significant events in Indian history, including the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and the proclamation of Indian independence by Jawaharlal Nehru on August 15, 1947.

Today, the Red Fort is a popular tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also the site of the annual Independence Day celebrations, during which the Prime Minister of India hoists the national flag and delivers a speech from the ramparts of the fort.
