The Red Fort is a walled complex, sure - but it's not really a fort. When I think of forts, I think of purely functional, military buildings. Like the one in Saint Augustine, Florida. But I think the most accurate description here is closer to "palace." The room I'm standing in (above) has a throne, and was for the king of the region to hold his court.
Bettina and I are sitting in the courtyard between some of the buildings. It's actually a very large complex.
This is on the corner of a wall in the most decorated, most exclusive part of the palace. It was an entertaining room for V-VIP's. It says, "If there is a heaven, it is here, it is here, it is here." Possibly sacrilegious, but I think it's a really nice saying.
