Every Independence Day (August 15) the Prime Minister addresses the nation from its ramparts, making it one of India's most iconic landmarks. Highlights include the Diwan-i-Am (public hall) and Diwan-i-Khas (private hall), and the evening sound-and-light show is hugely popular. Admission INR 500 for foreigners. A 10-minute walk from Jama Masjid Station (Metro Violet Line).
