The Red Fort in Agra (revised)

James Huber points out that the Red Fort symbolizes the Mughals' economic strength. His point is logical, considering that the Mughals managed to build an expensive and luxurious palace, such as the Red Fort, and continued to prosper afterwards. However, when the Taj Mahal was built, too much money was spent and the Mughal Empire started to decline. The Red Fort is aso important because it represents three generations of rule under three different emperors, as explained in more detail in the article.

The image is a view of the Taj Mahal from the Red Fort. The two "sister" monuments both represent the Mughals' wealth, yet they symbolize different levels of success. The Red Fort is a monument of success because the Mughals continued to flourish as en empire even after spending mass amounts of money on buidling it.
