Naubat Khana, Royal drum house at Red Fort, India.
The Naubat Khana stands as a three-story red sandstone structure at the entrance between the outer and inner courts of Delhi's Red Fort.
Musicians in the Naubat Khana performed five scheduled times daily to mark significant events and announce the arrival of emperors during the Mughal period.
The walls of this musical gateway display intricate floral patterns carved into red sandstone, originally decorated with gold paint and white plaster.
The Indian War Memorial Museum occupies the first and second floors of the Naubat Khana, displaying historical artifacts and military memorabilia.
The structure earned the name Hathiyan Pol as all visitors except royalty had to dismount their elephants at this entrance point.
