Explanation

The Red Fort in Delhi was built by Shah Jahan between 1638 and 1648 when he shifted his capital from Agra to Delhi. It served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors for nearly 200 years. The fort's red sandstone walls give it its name. Akbar built the Agra Fort, and Qutb-ud-din Aibak built the Qutub Minar complex.
