Images of India (10) - The Red Fort - Naubat Khana
May 24th 2011 08:19
The Naubat Khana (meaning Music Gallery) is a three story pavillion constructed from sandstone. Here the musicians played their instruments announcing prayers, and on other special occasions.
Today, on the second floor, there is a war museum containing objects maingly from the Mughal era.
For more information see the excellent guide that I used when I visited the Red Fort:
"Red Fort - A comprehensive illustrated guide to a splendid imperial citadel",
