    <h2>History:
    The Red Fort or Lal Qila is a historic fort in Old Delhi, Delhi in India that
    served as the main residence of the
    Mughal Emperors. Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned construction of the Red Fort on
    12 May 1638, when he decided to
    shift his capital from Agra to Delhi. Originally red and white, its design is
    credited to architect
    Ustad Ahmad Lahori, who also constructed the Taj Mahal.The fort was plundered of
    its artwork and jewels during Nadir Shah's invasion of the Mughal Empire in 1739.
    Most of
    the fort's marble structures were subsequently demolished by the British following
    the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
    The fort's defensive walls were largely undamaged, and the fortress was
    subsequently used as a garrison.
    On 15 August 1947, the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, raised the
    Indian flag above the Lahori Gate.
    Every year on India's Independence Day (15 August), the Prime Minister hoists the
    Indian tricolour flag at the fort's
    main gate and delivers a nationally broadcast speech from its ramparts.</h2>
