The Red Fort, also known as Lal Qila, is an historic Mughal fort located in the Old Delhi area of Delhi, India. It served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan on the 12th of May 1639, the fort was constructed following his decision to shift the Mughal capital from Agra to Delhi. Originally adorned in red and white, the fort's design is attributed to Ustad Ahmad Lahori, the architect of the Taj Mahal. The Red Fort is a prominent example of Mughal architecture from Shah Jahan's reign, combining Persian and Indian architectural styles.
During the invasion by Nadir Shah of the Afsharid Empire in 1739, the fort was plundered and stripped of its artwork and jewels. Following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, many of its marble structures were demolished by the British, although the defensive walls remained largely intact. The fort was later repurposed as a military garrison.
On 15 August 1947, the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, hoisted the Indian flag above the Lahori Gate, the main entrance of the Red Fort. Since then, the Prime Minister of India has ceremonially raised the national tricolour at the main gate each year on Independence Day, then delivering a nationally broadcast address from its ramparts.
The Red Fort, as part of the Red Fort Complex, was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

A la izquierda del templo hay una gran estancia, como una especie de nave, en la que cada dĂa se da de comer a unas 2000 personas. A la hora de la comida; los peregrinos sikhs, hombres, mujeres y niños se disponen en largas filas, sentados en el suelo; en unos platos metálicos sirven la comida que consiste básicamente en lentejas y arroz.
Todos los sikhs bautizados deben vestir el uniforme de las 5-K, cinco sĂmbolos fĂsicos que les identifican, que consiste en:
-Kesh (pelo): el pelo sin cortar es sĂmbolo de espiritualidad.
-Kirpan (espada): la espada o puñal es sĂmbolo de la lucha Sikh contra la injusticia y la opresiĂłn religiosa.
-Kara (ajorca): el brazalete de acero es sĂmbolo de moderaciĂłn y recuerdo de Dios.
-Kangha (peine): el peine es sĂmbolo de higiene y disciplina.
-Kachha (calzoncillos o bragas): un tipo especial de ropa interior que es sĂmbolo de control propio.
