Shah Burj

Unclaimed

It's one of beautiful places inside the Red Fort, but here also not allowed to go inside for photography. good for young kids as well to know about historical places. good architecture work of old times & good to know all such things. guide explained well.

The Shahi Burj (Emperor's Tower) is a three-storey octagonal tower of the Red Fort in 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.

This was the structure for the secondary water supply system that was used for supply of water in the red fort from yamuna which passed through naher-i-bahisht.

Small tower and raised terrace near the northeast corner of the Red Fort complex. Not a lot to see here except maybe a sleeping guard or two, but the architecture is nice and it's relatively quiet in this area of the fort. You'll probably pass it in your travels throughout the fort, so it might be worth stopping by
