Mughal Emperor Shahjahan, started construction of the massive fort in 1638 and work was completed in 1648 (10 years). The Red Fort was originally referred to as "Qila-i-Mubarak" (the blessed fort), because it was the residence of the royal family. The layout of the Red Fort was organised to retain and integrate this site with the Salimgarh Fort. The fortress palace was an important focal point of the medieval city of Shahjahanabad . The planning and aesthetics of the Red Fort represent the zenith of Mughal creativity which prevailed during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan. This Fort has had many developments added on after its construction by Emperor Shahjahan. The significant phases of development were under Aurangzeb and later Mughal rulers. Important physical changes were carried out in the overall settings of the site after the Indian Mutiny in 1857.

Kucha Chowdhary - Digital Camera Market
Là 1 phần nhỏ của khu Chandi Chowk, Kucha Chowdhary chuyên biệt về các thiết bị máy ảnh, phụ kiện và dịch vụ xung quanh lĩnh vực Photography. Ở đây có đủ mọi chủng loại máy ảnh từ cao cấp đến bình dân, rất nhiều các phụ kiện như túi, chân máy, ống kính, pin, cáp nối .v.v.v.v. Đặc biệt là giá ở đây rẻ hơn hẳn so với các cửa hàng các store hay show room tại Delhi, thậm chí còn rẻ hơn so với các shop tại Nehru Place.
Ví dụ: máy Sony DSC-H70 tại Nehru Place và các Store khác là khoảng 13990R (có thể discount khoảng 1-2%), thì tại Kucha Chowdhary giá khoảng 13000R.
Mức giá này là ở các cửa hàng nằm sâu trong khu chợ, còn các Showroom ngoài mặt đường vẫn bán giá theo bảng giá của hãng.
Và so với VN thì cũng rẻ hơn khoảng 4-5%.
Ngoài các sản phẩm mới nguyên thì khu chợ này cũng bán rất nhiều thiết bị second hand, tất nhiên chất lượng như thế nào thì khó có thể biết được.
Dịch vụ sửa chữa máy ảnh, ống kính và tất cả mọi thứ liên quan đến máy ảnh có thể tìm thấy ở đây.
Một điều nữa là khu chợ này cũng rất lộn xộn, bừa bãi và mất vệ sinh.
