The construction of the Red Fort started in the month of 13 May 1638. It took nine years to build and under the supervision of Shah Jahan, the fort was completed on 6 April 1648. Unlike any other Mughal buildings, the walls were built asymmetrically to contain the old Salimgarh Fort.It remained the seat of imperial Mughal rule until the Great Revolt of 1857. It includes several other structures that were built during the life of Shah Jahan, and some that were added by later rulers. His son and successor Aurangzeb added the Pearl Masjid or Moti Masjid to the fort complex when he took over as emperor after a fierce war of succession between himself and his three brothers.

The construction of the India Gate began in the year 1921, and was a part of the British initiative to build graves and memorials for all Indian and British soldiers who represented the British Empire in World War I. The Duke of Connaught laid the foundation stone of the War Memorial on 10 February 1921 and the memorial was inaugurated on 12 February 1931 by Lord Irwin, the Viceroy of India. It was dedicated to all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the war. The generations to come will remember him for the great sacrifice he made for his country.
