Royal Quarters, Red Fort

The royal quarters in Red fort consist of number of buildings built and adorned in Mogul style.

One of the interesting features of these buildings is Nahar i Bahisht (River from Paradise). A small canal running the length of the main building. Keeping it cool and giving a visual interest.

The royal dressing room, bathroom, prayer room and of course Rang Mahal. The royals were aware of the importance of nature and walks for long life. They called their garden Hayat Baksh (Life giving). The Sawan Bhadon pavilions – such poetic names for the buildings. The tank in one of them has niches for candles in sides. Imagine the view!
