The Red Fort is a historic Mughal fort in the Old Delhi area of Delhi, India, commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan on May 12, 1639 as the main residence of the Mughal emperors, following his decision to move the Mughal capital from Agra to Delhi. Originally faced in red and white, the fort is attributed to Ustad Ahmad Lahori, the same architect credited with the Taj Mahal, and it stands as a prominent example of Mughal architecture from Shah Jahan's reign, blending Persian and Indian design.
