This red sandstone tomb is built amidst a square garden divided into four main parterres known as Charbagh. At the center of this garden, a shallow water channel can be seen. There are two double-storied gateways on the west and south of the monument. The center of the western wall is occupied by a baradari (pavilion) and a hammam (bathroom) is found at the center of northern wall. It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Monument in 1993.

New Delhi is a cosmopolitan city due to the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural presence of the vast Indian bureaucracy and political system. The city’s capital status has amplified the importance of national events and holidays. National events such as Republic Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti (Gandhi’s birthday) are celebrated with great enthusiasm in New Delhi and the rest of India. On India’s Independence Day (15 August), the prime minister of India addresses the nation from the Red Fort. Most people of Delhi celebrate the day by flying kites, which are considered a symbol of freedom.[citation needed] The Republic Day Parade is a large cultural and military parade showcasing India’s cultural diversity and military might
