A tradition since 1773, the President's Bodyguards, the senior-most regiment of the Indian Army, perform a breathtaking display of equestrian skill and military precision, complete with marching bands and immaculately groomed steeds. This 30-minute spectacle offers a glimpse into the rich history and ceremonial grandeur of Indian governance.

Marvel at the imposing red sandstone walls that enclose a complex of opulent palaces, audience halls, and intricately designed gardens. Explore the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience) and the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), imagining the courtly life of the Mughal era. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Red Fort stands as a powerful testament to India's rich history and architectural prowess.
