Red Fort

The Red Fort is impressive complex made of red sandstone. This was the where the Mughal Emperor of India lived for about 200 years starting in the mid 1600's. Every August 15th, Independence Day of India, the prime minister of the country (the current Prime Minister is Narendra Modi) hoists the flag and delivers a speech.

notice the height and thickness of the fort's outer walls

decorations on some of the inner walls

here the wind was blowing strong enough that the Indian flag can be seen slightly better
