Red Fort: Remembering The Magnificent Mughals seeks to present the lived culture of Mughals in all its multiple facets.

The book is divided into four parts:
• In Part 1 the focus is on the Imperial court and the court etiquette, cultivation of Persian and its enrichment with translations from Sanskrit, patronage of Hindu and Jain scholars.
• Part 2 contains detailed accounts of the Red Fort and the symbolism of its architecture, the philosophy of jharokha darshan, ceremonies, games, and pastimes, the material culture of costumes and jewelry, food, drink, and perfumery.
• The remaining two parts deal with the decline and fall of the Mughal rule and the British Colonial Durbars at the Red Fort. The broadly historical narrative is enlivened by various anecdotes.
