• Red Fort - Explore the heart of Mughal authority at the Red Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of India’s most renowned landmarks. Constructed by Emperor Shah Jahan, this massive red sandstone fortress served as the primary residence for emperors for almost two centuries. The guide will share its extensive history, highlighting its role as a luxurious imperial palace and its importance as the location where India’s Prime Minister delivers the Independence Day address.
• Chatta Chowk Bazar / Meena Bazaar - Begin your adventure by passing through the impressive Lahore Gate into Chatta Chowk, a splendid 17th-century covered market. Initially serving the opulent tastes of the imperial family, this atmospheric bazaar was once filled with silk, jewelry, and spices. Today, it is a lively marketplace for handicrafts and souvenirs, and the guide will narrate its unique history as you explore.
• Naubat Khana - Enter the palace through the formal gateway, the Naubat Khana, or Drum House. Here, musicians played five times daily to announce the time and the arrival of the emperor or other royalty. The guide will describe the ceremony of this grand tradition before you proceed further into the fort.
• Diwan-i-Aam - Experience the place where the emperor engaged with his people. In this magnificent hall, Emperor Shah Jahan would sit on an ornate marble throne canopy to hear his subjects’ petitions. The guide will highlight the intricate Florentine ‘pietra dura’ inlay work and explain how the emperor dispensed justice from this impressive seat of power.
• Diwan-i-Khas - Uncover the richly adorned inner sanctum of the fort, reserved for the emperor’s private meetings with courtiers and state guests. This hall was the epicenter of the Mughal Empire and once housed the legendary, jewel-encrusted Peacock Throne. The guide will interpret the famous Persian inscription on its walls: “If there is a paradise on earth, it is this, it is this, it is this.”
• Khas Mahal - Following the visit to the royal palaces, the tour continues to the nearby Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque).
