Mumtaz Mahal (Red Fort)

The Mumtaz Mahal (Hindustani: ممتاز محل, मुमताज़ महल, literally Jewel Palace) is located in the Red Fort, Old Delhi. The Mumtaz Mahal is one of the six main palaces that were situated facing the Yamuna River. All six palaces were connected by the Stream of Paradise (Nahr-i-Bishisht), a waterway which ran through them. At one time the Chhoti Baithak, which no longer exists, was located just to the north of the Mumtaz Mahal. The building was constructed with white marble in the lower half of its walls and pillars. It consists of six apartments divided by arched piers and was originally painted with floral decorations on the interior. The Mumtaz Mahal was part of the Zenana. After the British occupied the fort, it was used as a prison camp. The building currently houses an exhibition of the Red Fort Archaeological Museum, consisting largely of exhibits of the Mughal period.

Qudsia Bagh

Qudsia Bagh (English: Qudsia Garden) is an 18th-century Mughal garden complex and palace located in Civil Lines, Delhi, just outside the Walled City of Old Delhi, India. History The complex was constructed in 1748 for Qudsia Begum, the mother of Mughal emperor Ahmad Shah Bahadur. It is situated north of the old city of Delhi. Formerly a splendid palace, it constituted a possession of the heir apparent before falling into disrepair and obscurity. Large parts of it were destroyed during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. Today, only an entrance gate, the Shahi (Emperor's) mosque, and the stables remain. Historian Hasan Zafar notes that the garden has been recorded as a protected monument in the Archaeological Survey of India records.

Qudsia Bagh

Qudsia Bagh (en français Jardin de Qudsia) est un espace vert public se trouvant dans la partie septentrionale de Delhi (Inde). Le parc est un reliquat des jardins qui entouraient le palais de la Begum Qudsia construit au XVIIIe siècle. Il s’y trouve quelques bâtiments anciens, classés comme historiques. Histoire L’empereur moghol Muhammad Shah construisit en 1748 un palais pour Udham Bai (plus tard Begum Qudsia), ancienne courtisane et maitresse favorite qui, devenue sa femme, lui donna un fils et successeur, Ahmad Shah. Le palais fut construit en bord du fleuve Yamuna, les jardins s’étendant vers l’ouest. L’ensemble comprenait à la fin du XVIIIe siècle un palais aux dimensions impressionnantes avec vue sur le fleuve Yamuna, une mosquée, un portail, des étables et d’autres bâtiments. Situé à proximité de la Porte du Cachemire (juste à l’extérieur des murs de la ville de Delhi), le palais de Qudsia et ses dépendances subirent de graves dégâts lors de la reconquête de Delhi par les forces anglaises, en septembre 1857, qui mit fin à la révolte des Cipayes. Le palais lui-même disparut. Dans le jardin public, dont l’espace est fort réduit par rapport à ce qu’il fut dans le passé, il ne reste aujourd’hui que le portail d’entrée du palais, l’ancienne mosquée (fermée au culte), et des dépendances.

Rang Mahal (Red Fort)

The Rang Mahal or Palace of Colour is located in the Red Fort, Old Delhi. It originally served as a part of the imperial harem. It was the part of the palace in which female members of the royal family could rest at. It was known as the Palace of Distinction (Imtiaz Mahal) during the rule of Shah Jahan. After the British occupied the fort in 1857, Rang Mahal was used as a mess hall for a brief time. The building's interior was once richly painted and decorated. Some apartments of this building are called Shish Mahal due to tiny pieces of mirrors that cover the ceilings. Through the center of the marble palace, a shallow canal called the Stream of Paradise (Nahr-i-Bihist) flowed into a marble basin carved into the floor. Under the Rang Mahal was a basement (tehkhana), which women would use on hot summer days. Gallery References External links Media related to Rang Mahal (Red Fort) at Wikimedia Commons

Shahi Burj (Red Fort)

The Shahi Burj (Urdu: Emperor's Tower) is a three-storey octagonal tower of the Red Fort in Old Delhi. The tower is located at the northeastern corner of the imperial enclosure. The water feeding, the Nahr-i-Bihisht, is channeled up from the river with a hydraulic system through the tower and then carried by channels into various other buildings of the fort. Adjacent to the south of the tower is a white marble pavilion that was constructed during Aurangzeb's rule. The pavilion features five arches supported on fluted columns and with low whale back roofs. In the centre of the north wall is a marble cascade sloping into a scalloped basin. The tower was damaged during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and again during a heavy earthquake in 1904. Originally there was a chhatri that is now missing. The tower and pavilion have been undergoing renovation work for many years and are closed to the public. On the south-eastern corner is the Asad Burj, which is a similar tower.

Láhaurská brána

Láhaurská brána (anglicky Lahori Gate, hindsky लाहौरी दरवाजा či též लाहौरी गेट, urdsky لاہوری دروازہ‎, láhaurí darváza) je hlavní brána do Červené pevnosti v indickém městě Dillí. Nachází se na západním okraji pevnosti, naproti třídě Čándní čauk. Je jedním ze symbolů města i celé Indie. Svůj název má podle města Láhaur, které se dnes nachází v Pákistánu a kam původně směřovala cesta z této brány. Kromě ní je přístup do Červené pevnosti možný ještě Dillískou bránou, která se nachází na jejím jižním konci. K bráně se z pevnosti vstupuje krytou ulicí (Čhattá čauk) dlouhou přibližně 100 m. Ta vznikla jako kryté tržiště, nebyla součástí fortifikačního systému pevnosti. Samotná stavba je třípatrová, má výšku 25 m. Jednotlivá podlaží naznačují panely s vyobrazenými čtverci, obdélníky a laločnými oblouky. Dekorace jsou použité především u dvou dominantních věží z obou stran vstupu do brány. Na vrcholu brány se nacházejí dvě věže s osmiúhelníkovým půdorysem. Mezi nimi stojí sedm menších věžiček. Stejně jako zbytek celé pevnosti je i tato brána zbudována z cihel obložených červeným pískovcem, typickým pro stavby mughalské architektury. Na vrcholky věžiček byl také použit bílý mramor. Historie Brána byla vybudována v letech 1639 až 1645 v souvislosti s výstavbou celé Červené pevnosti iniciované císařem Šáhdžahánem. Za vlády jeho nástupce, císaře Aurangzéba, byl k bráně přistavěn předsazený bastion, do něhož se vstupuje ze severní strany. Výška této části stavby činí 10,5 metrů. Dokončen byl v roce 1660. Jeho hlavním prvkem je nápadný lomený oblouk, kterým se vstupuje do objektu. Bastion má v rozích umístěné osmiboké věže, které víceméně kopírují podobu dvou hlavních věží u samotné brány. Císař Šádhdžahán údajně přístavbu kritizoval jako závoj, který získala nevěsta (jíž byla míněna samotná pevnost. Každý rok již od vyhlášení nezávislosti Indie v roce 1947 je při příležitosti výročí uskutečněno slavnostní shromáždění právě před Lahaúrskou bránou. Vztyčena je vlajka Indie a ze zdí bastionu promlouvá indický premiér. Vzhledem k možným rizikům útoků na vysoce postavené politické představitele byly v 80. letech 20. století některá okna v bráně zazděna. Byl zde také přibudován výtah.

Lahore Gate (Delhi)

Das Lahore Gate (manchmal auch Lahori Gate) am Roten Fort (Urdu لال قلعہ Lal Qila) der indischen Hauptstadt Delhi ist einer der größten und repräsentativsten Torbauten des Landes. Es gehört zur Mogul-Architektur und ist als Bestandteil des Red Fort Complex als UNESCO-Welterbe anerkannt. Geschichte Das nach der zeitweiligen Mogul-Hauptstadt Lahore benannte Lahore Gate wurde im Rahmen der vom Großmogul Shah Jahan (reg. 1627–1658) in Auftrag gegebenen Neubaumaßnahmen am Roten Fort in den Jahren 1639–1648 errichtet. Sein Sohn und Nachfolger Aurangzeb (reg. 1658–1707) ließ um das Jahr 1660 vor dem Torbau eine Hof-Barbakane erbauen, die seitdem die freie Fernsicht auf das Tor versperrt. Architektur Der Kern des im Westen des Roten Forts befindlichen Torbaus besteht aus gebrannten Ziegelsteinen; diese wurden mit Platten aus rötlichem Sandstein verkleidet, die zwar an den seitlichen Vorbauten Blendarkaden oder Blendbalkone ausbilden aber ansonsten nahezu dekorlos gestaltet sind. Das gesamte Tor ist maximal ca. 25 m hoch und verfügt über einen Zinnenkranz; der mittlere Teil wird zusätzlich von einer Reihe von sieben kleinen Zierpavillons (chhatris) überhöht, zu deren Seiten kleine Ziertürmchen (guldastas) aufragen. Die seitlichen, polygonal gebrochenen Bastionen mit ihrem unregelmäßigen Grundriss springen um mehrere Meter vor und sind jeweils von einem großen Zierpavillon bekrönt. Der eigentliche ca. 100 m lange Durchgang ist deutlich kleiner dimensioniert als es der äußere Portalbogen (iwan) vermuten lässt; er war mit Sicherheit als Teil des Verteidigungskonzepts gedacht, doch befanden sich wohl auch schon in der späteren Mogulzeit in ihm zahlreiche Geschäfte, in welchen man noch in letzter Minute kostbare Geschenke für die Damen des Hofes kaufen konnte.

Lahori Gate, Red Fort, Delhi

The Lahori Gate is the main entrance to the Red Fort in Old Delhi. The fort is approached through a covered street flanked by arcaded apartments called the Chhatta Chowk. Situated on the western wall of the fort, the gate received its name because it led to the city of Lahore, (present day Pakistan). The secondary entrance is the Delhi Gate. The gateway consists of three stories, each decorated with square, rectangular and cusped arched panels. These are flanked by semi-octagonal towers crowned by two open octagonal pavilions. The whole gate is clad in red sandstone, except the roofs of the pavilions, where white stone is used. Between the two pavilions is a screen of miniature chhatris having seven miniature marble domes. Continuing around the whole wall are flame-shaped battlements. The gate was provided with a 10.5 high metre barbican by Aurangzeb (1658-1707), with its entrance to the north. It is said that Shah Jahan, while under house arrest, wrote to Aurangzeb and criticized his decision: "You have made a fort a bride, and set a veil on it." Every year since Indian Independence Day in 1947, the national flag has been raised and the Prime Minister has made a speech from the ramparts at the gate. In the 1980s, the security of the area was increased by blocking the tower windows as a security measure against sniper attacks. A lift was also added to the gate.

Lahori-poort

De Lahori-poort (Urdu: لال قلعہ Lal Qila) is de hoofdingang van het Rode Fort in de Indiase stad Delhi. De poort is gebouwd in de kenmerkende Mogol-architectuur en wordt erkend als UNESCO-werelderfgoed als onderdeel van het Rode Fort-complex. Achter de poort bevindt zich een overdekte straat die geflankeerd wordt door boogvormige kamers, Chhatta Chowk geheten. Deze straat vormt de verbinding met het fort. De poort is gelegen aan de westelijke muur van het fort en dankt zijn naam aan de stad Lahore in het huidige Pakistan, waar de straat naartoe leidde. De tweede poort van het Rode Fort is de Delhi-poort. De poort bestaat uit drie verdiepingen, elk versierd met vierkante, rechthoekige en knobbelvormig gebogen panelen. Deze worden geflankeerd door semi-achthoekige torens bekroond door twee open achthoekige paviljoens. De hele poort is bekleed met rode zandsteen, behalve de daken van de paviljoens, waarvoor een witte steensoort is gebruikt. Tussen de twee paviljoens bevindt zich een rij van zeven miniatuur-chhatri's bedekt met zeven kleine marmeren koepels. Bovenop de gehele muur bevinden zich vlamvormige kantelen. De Lahori-poort werd gebouwd in de jaren 1639-1648 in opdracht van Mogolkeizer Shah Jahan (1627-1658), als onderdeel van de nieuwbouwplannen van het Rode Fort. De poort is door zijn zoon en opvolger Aurangzeb (1658-1707) voorzien van een 10,5 meter hoge barbacane met de ingang naar het noorden. Er wordt gezegd dat Shah Jahan, terwijl hij onder huisarrest stond, aan Aurangzeb schreef en zijn beslissing bekritiseerde: "Je hebt van een fort een bruid gemaakt en er een sluier op gezet." Sinds de Indiase onafhankelijkheidsdag in 1947 wordt elk jaar de nationale vlag gehesen en houdt de premier een toespraak vanaf de wallen bij de poort. In de jaren tachtig werden de torenramen geblokkeerd als beveiligingsmaatregel tegen aanvallen van sluipschutters. Er werd ook een lift aan de poort toegevoegd. Afbeeldingen
