Architectural Style
A charbagh (four-part) garden layout was contemplated, symbolizing the four rivers of paradise and cosmic order in Islamic tradition—a hallmark of Mughal architecture. Buildings within the fort were originally connected by a channel of water flowing through pavilions and gardens.

Even after centuries, the Red Fort remains a masterpiece of Mughal planning, influencing later palaces and gardens in cities like Agra, Jaipur, and Udaipur.
