Red Fort in Delhi was originally built by Raja Anangpal Tomar in 1060 AD and not by Shahjahan
History was modified by Mughal rulers in India and everyone was made to believe that Shahjahan had built this palace during his tenure between 1639 to 1648 AD
by employing Ustad Ahmad Lahauri as chief architect
But what they did was only few modifications and the original fort existed even before Mughals entered India.
A stone tablet inside Red Fort by modern archaeologists proclaims that Shahjahan (who ruled from 1628 to 1658 AD)
built this fort from 1639 to 1648 AD
But one can see the photo given below for proof of who originally built the Red Fort in Delhi
A painting of Shahjahan’s time is preserved in the Bodleian LibraryOxford. It depicts Shajahan receiving the Persian ambassador inside the fort in
‘1628’ the very year of Shahjahan’s accession
This means the fort existed much before Shahjahan.
In Red Fort’s Khas Mahal, alias the King’s main apartment, one can find the royal emblem of its builder King Anangpal.
It has of a pair of swords laid hilt to hilt curving upwards,
the sacred Hindu pot (kalash) above the hilts, a lotus bud and a pair of scales of justice balanced over it. Dotted around are representations of the sun from whom Indian ruling dynasties claimed descent
At the sword points are two small conches considered
