And where Shah's construction was completed in 1648 Similar to the other Mughal kiosks, the fort built on the border of the fort remains asymmetric like the fort of Salimgarh.

Delhi was called Shahjahanabad due to the formation of a charming red fort at that time. During the reign of Shah, the Red Fort was considered a symbol of the creativity of his reign. After Shah, where his successor Aurangzeb had also constructed a mosque made of artificial pearls, Aurangzeb made a lot of changes to make the entry door even more charming.
