Watch | Now, visit Delhi’s Red Fort to journey back to Mughal era

The Hindu  

Did you know that Delhi’s Chandini Chowk got its name because of a pool in the densely populated market that reflected the moonlight? On April 24, 2018, the Dalmia Bharat Group announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding under which it committed ₹25 crore over a five-year period for the upkeep of the Red Fort. The initiative by the conglomerate comprises three projects: a walk through a museum presenting the entire story of the construction of the fort; a light-and-sound show, named Jai Hind, on India’s history from the time the monument was built to 1947 when the country became independent, narrated by actor Amitabh Bachchan; and a projection-mapping show capturing the journey of Indian culture over 5,000 years. The museum gives us a glimpse of Delhi during the reign of Alauddin Khilji and other rulers before the 17th century when the Red Fort was built through maps. A dramatic presentation of the history of India from the 17th century to 1947, when the country gained Independence, it was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and opened to public in January.
