Rang Mahal (Red Fort)

The Rang Mahal, or Palace of Colour, is a stunning historical site within the Red Fort in Old Delhi, originally serving as a retreat for the royal harem. Known as the Palace of Distinction during Shah Jahan's reign, it features exquisite interiors once adorned with vibrant paintings and mirrors, particularly in the Shish Mahal apartments. A unique highlight is the Stream of Paradise, a shallow canal that flows through the palace into a beautifully carved marble basin. The Rang Mahal also includes a cool basement area, providing respite during the hot summer months, making it a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers alike.
