The fate of the Red Fort after 1857

If you’ve seen Red Fort recently you would wonder where these paintings are from!

Almost 52 buildings inside the Red Fort broken by British in aftermath of 1857 : what we see now is 20% of the buildings only.

This can be clearly seen in the painting of the Red Fort where there’s not an inch of available space

I was quite heartbroken at the decay but then the resources at their disposal are not enough to undo the willful damage of 160 years.
