Shah Jahan, the fifth Mughal emperor, reigned from 1628 to 1658, and founded the walled city of Shahjahanabad in 1639. Shah Jahan’s palace-fortress - Qila Mubarak (Auspicious Fortress), today known as the Red Fort, is situated within this walled city. The Naubat Khana, or Naqqar Khana, is the drum house that stands at the entrance between the outer and inner court at the Red Fort in Delhi. Musicians from the Naubat Khana would announce the arrival of the emperor and other dignitaries at the court of public audience (Diwan-i-Am). The richly carved floral designs on the red sandstone walls are thought to have been originally painted with gold and the interior was colourfully painted. The Indian War Memorial Museum is currently located in the first and second storeys of the Naubat Khana. (Wik
