To the left after the Chhatta Chowk, this is a reasonably well-presented museum on the history of independence activism in India, starting from the 1857 rebellion all the way to Mahatma Gandhi.
Enjoy the scene of ritual bathing and sunset on the Yamuna River, which is considered sacred to Hindus along with the Ganges.
लाल क़िला Lāl Qilā
One of Delhi's top tourist sights and listed as a . A brilliant red sandstone fort was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (who also built the Taj Mahal) as his ruling palace. Completed in 1648, the years since have not treated the buildings kindly: the rooms have long since been stripped of all objects, the marble inlays are long gone and quite a few buildings are off-limits. Still, the scale remains imposing and the gardens are kept lush and green even in midwinter.
Covered Bazaar
True to the name, this is a covered bazaar between the gate and the fort itself, now filled with souvenir hawkers.
Hall of Public Audience
This building separates the outer court from the inner court and has a marble platform for the emperor's throne.
Hall of Private Audience
Built completely of marble, this is where the emperor received special visitors.
Life-Bestowing Garden
Once a grand garden full of fountains and streams, now sadly all dry, only dry channels and acres of green grass remain. Near here will you find the Sawan Pavilion.
