Photo taken on May 24, 2013 shows the walls of the Red Fort Complex on the north of New Delhi, capital of India. The Red Fort Complex was built as the palace of the fifth Mughal Emperor of India, Shah Jahan. The name Red Fort comes from its 2-kilometre wall of red sandstone. The Red Fort is considered to represent the peak of Mughal creativity. The planning of the palace is based on Islamic culture with architectural elements typical of Mughal building, reflecting a fusion of Persian, Timurid and Hindu traditions. The Red Fort Complex was enlisted as the World Heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization in 2007. [Xinhua/Zheng Huansong] |
