The Red Fort Travel has been attracting people since a long time. People come to visit the fort from all over the place. It is one of the major tourist attractions in India. The Red Fort Travel sports all the obvious trappings befitting a vital centre of Mughal governance namely the halls of public and private audiences, domed and arched marble palaces, plush private apartments, a mosque, and elaborately designed gardens. Even today if you take a Travel to Red Fort, you will find that the Fort remains as an impressive testimony to Mughal grandeur, despite being attacked by the Persian Emperor Nadir Shah in 1739, and by the British soldiers, during the war of independence in 1857.

The Red Fort also houses the Diwan-i-Am or the Hall of Public Audiences, where the Emperor would sit on a marbled paneled alcove, studded with gems, and hear complaints of the common people. The Diwan-i-Khas is the hall of Private Audiences, where the Emperor held private meetings. This hall is made of marble, and its centre-piece used to be the Peacock Throne, which was studded with rubies and gems and was carried away to Iran by Nadir Shah in 1739. The Rang Mahal or the 'Palace of Colours' as it is known, holds a spectacular Lotus shaped fountain, made out of a single piece of marble, and housed the Emperor's wives and mistresses. The palace was decorated with excellent paintings, gold bordered projections, mosaics of mirrors and the ceiling was made with gold and silver which wonderfully reflected in a central pool in the marble floor. The other attractions enclosed within this monument are the Hammams or the Royal Baths, the Shahi Burj, which used to be Shah Jahan's private working area, and the Moti Masjid or the Pearl Mosque, built by Aurangzeb for his personal use.
