The Red Fort Of Agra
The Red Fort is a 15th century fort complex constructed by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in the walled city of Old Delhi (in present day Delhi, India). It served as the capital of the Mughals until 1857, when Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar was exiled by the British Indian government. The British used it as a military camp until India was made independent in 1947. It is now a popular tourist site, as well as a powerful symbol of India's sovereignty: the Prime Minister of India raises the flag of India on the rampants of the Lahori Gate of the fort complex every year on Independence Day. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007

It is fairly well accepted that the Gypsies found today all over eastern Europe and the Balkans actually migrated from India centuries ago.

This place is special in the way the Dhobis wash the laundry, which is in the old style washing of hardly beating the clothes on Stone (Stone Wash Pens). They work collectively in groups with each washing the laundry of about one hundred customer's every day. The surprise to me was that with thousands of customer's laundry together, none are mixed or misplaced and exchanged with each other.
Once the laundry is washed, it is then followed by a special dry cleaning water process and then hung in open n air for drying. Then the clothes will be Ironed and delivered to respective customers homes.
