The Red Fort in Delhi was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the mid-17th century (construction began in 1638 and completed around 1648). The main purpose was to serve as the new capital of the Mughal Empire after Shah Jahan decided to shift his court from Agra to Delhi. It wasn’t just a military fort; it was also a political and ceremonial center. The fort symbolized the power, grandeur, and architectural brilliance of the Mughal dynasty.
