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.

Un Gurdwara es el lugar de culto sij. Todos ellos contienen en su interior una copia del libro sagrado y sirve como un punto de encuentro para la veneración, incluyendo la recitación y el canto. Al visitar el templo Sikh de Delhi o Gurdwara Bangla Sahib estaremos antes e templo sij más importante de la ciudad de Delhi. Su estructura se distingue por su asombrosa cúpula dorada y un largo mástil utilizado en ciertos momentos para situar una bandera. Originalmente era un palacio, que era conocido como Jaisinghpura, propiedad del rash Jai Singh, que gobernó en la India en el siglo XVII. Pocos años después de que Jai Singh ordenará su construcción, fue habitado por un importante gurú sij, Har Krishan, quien durante una epidemia de cólera que asoló la ciudad de Delhi, ayudó a la gente facilitándoles agua potable de su pozo y estanque.
“Delhi is a city of cities, built over the ruins of a hundred former civilizations, a palimpsest of empires.”— William Dalrymple, City of Djinns
La utopía está en el horizonte.
Camino dos pasos, ella se aleja dos pasos. Camino diez pasos y el horizonte se corre diez pasos más allá. Por mucho que camine nunca la alcanzaré.
¿Entonces para qué sirve la utopía?
Para eso, sirve para caminar

Delhi street/gully is busy, crowded but very picture friendly
You may find auto parked on the side of the street, flowers and difficult kinds of people.
