Designs from the Red Fort Agra or Agra Fort

Here are some photographs of the designs, motifs, and patterns from Agra Fort, and the original building is more than a thousand years old. It is UNESCO World Heritage site, a few kms from the Taj Mahal. The fort is huge, and more like a walled city. It is the most important fort in India. These are just a glimpse of some of the beautiful patterns and designs of the architecture of this massive fort.

The first photograph is of a piece carved out of marble on top of an indoor doorway.

Many of the window designs on the pillars in the photo below are faded, but one can imagine what they must have looked like at one time, with their colors intact.

The image below showcases a part of the high ceiling design in one of the rooms.

The photograph below did not come out well, a pencil drawing of the same design has been made. That shows the pattern more clearly.

The photographs below show the striking marble balcony railings/parapets.

You can see the intricate patterns below the marble railing in the top and bottom part of the photo.

Here you can see the typical hexagon design on a railing near the green lawn.

This is a design on the parapet.
