Hier präsentieren wir einen Ausschnitt aus unserem Video von einer Indienreise im Jahr 1996. Das Rote Fort in Agra+das Amber Fort in Jaipur//Here we present an excerpt from our video from a India trip in 2001. The Red Fort in Agra+the Amber Fort in Jaipur//Aquí presentamos un extracto de nuestro video de un viaje de India en 1996------Das Rote Fort in der nordindischen Stadt Agra ist eine Festungs- und Palastanlage aus der Epoche der Mogulkaiser und diente im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert mit Unterbrechungen als Residenz der Moguln. Es liegt am Ufer der Yamuna und ist etwa 2,5 Kilometer vom Taj Mahal entfernt. Wie dieses wurde auch das Rote Fort 1983 in das UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe aufgenommen. Ein Teil des Geländes wird heute militärisch genutzt und ist der Öffentlichkeit nicht zugänglich.///Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Agra, India. The fort is also known as Lal Qila, Fort Rouge and Red Fort of Agra. It is about 2.5 km northwest of its much more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled palatial city.

It is the most important fort in India. The great Mughals Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jehangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb lived here, and the country was governed from here. It contained the largest state treasury and mint. It was visited by foreign ambassadors, travellers and the highest dignitaries who participated in the making of history in India.////El Fuerte de Agra, también llamado Lal Qila, Fuerte Rojo de Agra o simplemente como Fuerte Rojo, (No debe confundirse con el Fuerte rojo de Delhi). Está ubicado en la orilla oeste del río Yamuna en la ciudad de Agra, estado de Uttar Pradesh, en la India, 2'5 km al noroeste del Taj Mahal. El fuerte, construido en piedra de arenisca roja (a lo que se debe el nombre), por el emperador mongol Akbar entre 1565 y 1573, puede ser descrito con mucha más exactitud como palacio amurallado, encerrando en su interior un impresionante conjunto de palacios y edificios señoriales con estilos arquitectónicos que varían desde la complejidad de lo construido por Akbar hasta la simplicidad de lo construido por su nieto Shah Jahan y rodeado de un profundo foso que se llenaba de agua del río Yamuna.-------Rashika Ojha looks at the Amber Fort at Jaipur and feels that this is a museum of inscriptions. She goes through history and the contemporary interpolations to reveal how the fort functions as an text book of bygone days and contemporary times.

Passing through the narrow pass of the Aravalli hills, one is caught by the romantic view of a typical Rajput Palace. This beautiful sight is of the Amber Fort that rambling over a rugged hill, reflected in Maotha Lake below, stands as a symbol of the glory of the Rajputs of Jaipur. This grand architectural piece was built up over several generations and till today protects the lost glory in the arms of its strong and towering walls punctuated by look out posts. (Wikipedia)
