Due to its architectural brilliance, Red fort has been notified as a monument of national importance in the year 1913.

Even today, the Fort remains an impressive testimony to India’s grandeur and power. This fort serves as the main venue for Prime Minster of India’s address to the nation on 15th August celebrated as Independence day.

Architectural significance of Red Fort:

Red fort is an perfect example of high level of art form and ornamental work of the Mughal dynasty.

The art work in the Red fort belongs to the Shahjahani style, which is a blend of Persian, European and Indian art work. This kind of style is rich in form, color and expression. The fort is surrounded by strong stone walls extending up to 2kms in length with the height varying from 18 mts. on the river side to 33 mts. on the city side. At regular intervals the fort wall has bastions, gates and wickets. There are all total 14 gates among which, the important ones are the Mori, Lahori, Ajmeri, Turkman, Kashmiri and Delhi gates, some of which have already been demolished. The walls, gates and few other structures of the fort are built of red sand stone whereas the palaces within the fort are made up of

marble. The entrance to this splendid fort is from the Lahori Gate which got its name because its direction towards Lahore in Pakistan .

See and admire:

This beautiful edifice has endless array of spectacular palaces which will at once behold your eyes. The center of the fort is known as the Naubat Khana or the Drum House. It was built in front of the Chhata Chowk. In the erstwhile era, the musicians of the court used to play music for the emperors and the announcement of arrival of the royalties has been done from here. The fort has some other beautiful palaces, halls, elaborately designed gardens and a mosque.

Diwan-i-am or the hall of public audiences served as a place to listen complaints of the common people. In contrast to it Diwan-i-khas was the hall of private audiences where the emperor meets with the private audiences. This hall is made up of marble and the centre of attraction of this hall was the Peacock throne studded with rubies and gems.

Another spectacular attraction of Red Fort is the Zenanas or the women’s quarter. It is comprised of the Rang mahal and the Mumtaz mahal. Rang mahal or the palace of colors, which was the home to the royal ladies. The main attraction of this building is the lotus shaped fountain which is made out of a single piece of marble. It was decorated with excellent paintings, gold bordered projections and mosaics of mirrors. The ceiling was made with gold and silver which wonderfully reflected in a central pool in the marble floor. The other attractions enclosed within this monument are the hammams or the Royal Baths, the Shahi Burj which used to be Shahjahan’s private working area, and the Mumtaz mahal has now been transformed into a museum.

The Moti Masjid or the Pearl Mosque, built by Aurangzeb in 1659 for his personal use. It is located to the west of the hammam and is a three domed mosque carved in white marble.

Nahr-i-behisht or the stream of paradise are the continuous source of which runs through the center of each pavilion of the imperial private apartments which lie behind the throne. The Shah Burj, a tower situated at the northeastern corner of the fort helps to draw water from the Yamuna river for this stream.

Khas Mahal has the imperial chambers. It is the third pavilion from the south and contains a suite of bedrooms, prayer rooms, a veranda and a tower named Mussaman Burj built against the fortress walls.

Last but not the least, a large formal garden known as the Hayat Bakhsh Bagh or the “Life-Bestowing Garden” lies to the north of the mosque. Some later modification and reconstruction were made to enhance the beauty of the garden.

Paddle to the Sea (The Criterion Collection) $9.59 Studio: Image Entertainment Release Date: 04/29/2008…

That’s a very serious injury and would definitely need vet attention as soon as possible. Until you can contact a vet, clean their cage, and separate the two temprorarily (you can try to reintroduce them again later, but if the other caused that kind of damage, they need to be permanently separated). Gently wash the wound with lukewarm water (I personally don’t know of any home remedies to help that sever of a wound, but washing will help to keep away infection a bit). You can try putting a very small amount of honey on a small section of the wound (like I said, I’m not positive if honey on that deep a wound will sting the hamster or not). Honey is a natural antispetic, and the hamster will lick it clean. If he doesn’t seem distressed by the honey, you can place it over more of the wound. Obviously, this isn’t a 100% cure, you’ll still need vet advice (I haven’t even a clue how you’d get bandages on a speedy little Roborovski). As long as you can fight off infection, he should be able to pull through with time, rest, and extra care.

Good luck, and I hope the little guy makes a full recovery.
