The colour of the Red Fort was white, the name of the builder is also a mystery.
One of the best-known Delhi architecture is the Red Fort A stone plaque inside the Red Fort, belonging to the Archaeological Survey of India, identifies it as built by Shah Jahan (1628-1648 AD) between 1639 and 1648 Its original architect is said to have been Ustad Ahmad Lahori Limestone was used in various parts of the structure during its construction.
White was, in fact, its natural colour.
White was, in fact, its natural colour.
Later, it lost its luster and hence the British painted the walls red People started calling it "Red Fort" because of the high red walls that surrounded it The name Red Fort has been in use since then During the Mughal period, it was called "Qila-e-Mubarak " The British used to say ".
Red Fort " There are other mysteries about the Red Fort For example, Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan is said to have built it But is it really? That is what is being discussed now.

A photograph in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, however, suggests that the Red Fort existed even before Shah Jahan The photograph shows Shah Jahan receiving a Persian envoy in the "Diwan-i-Am " The date is given below the photograph - 1628 AD. The photograph appeared on page 132 of the 2 March 1971 issue of the ".

There are also other symbols inside the Red Fort, such as the Khas Mahal, the main court room of the Red Fort, which has a royal emblem The emblem is two swords with their handles crossed The swords are curved upwards - one in the right, the other in the left.
On the joined handles of the swords are a kalash, a lotus bud, and the symbol of justice hanging above all - the Tulabharad Also around these carved symbols are symbols of ancient Surya dynasty kings - the sun Also, the swords have two conches on their tips Also, each door of the Khas Mahal of the Red Fort has a portrait of a mahout seated on an elephant.

Also on one of the arches is a burning sun with the obverse marked "Oh " Just below it are the royal emblems These emblems include some Urdu letters, which are clearly written in the later Mughal period On either side of the Delhi Darwaza of the Red Fort are two large elephant statues.
Inside the Red Fort, the two domes of the Moti Masjid, said to be built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, have a banana ring in the middle arch Above the arches are five fruits arranged on two sides These symbols of the Red Fort in Delhi are strikingly similar to those of the Gwalior and Udaipur forts.

Needless to say, all these symbols are part of Hindu culture So who is the real builder of the Red Fort? Apparently, there is information about this in the "Prithviraj Raso" written by Chand Bardai, the court poet of Prithviraj Chauhan It says that the Rajput Tomar clan king Anangpal built a fort in 736 AD.
His name was - "Lal Kot," that is, Red Fort Then the question is, how can a fort made of naturally white limestone be "red" again? So there are mysteries There are also questions For example, Timur Long's writings mention Old Delhi in 1398 AD, about two hundred and fifty years before Shah Jahan.
One of the attractions of Old Delhi was the Red Fort.

Moreover, the drainage system of the fort also reflects Rajput architecture Two ancient temples in front of the Red Fort suggest that the area was Hindu in origin and that the Hindu architecture of the Red Fort led to the construction of two temples nearby One of the temples is the Lal Jain Temple and the other is the Gaurishankar Temple.
Also, most of the people of Old Delhi are Hindus and most of the houses in the area are built in the Hindu style.

The last is by Sir H M Eliot and John Dawson in their eight-volume work Muslim Chronicles of the Middle Ages In the last volume, Sir A M Eliot observes that the history of Muslim rule in India is a purposeful forgery Is that the history behind the construction of the Red Fort? The question arises naturally from the Red Fort's artefacts.
