Delhi’s Red Fort will remain closed to ordinary visitors from July 15 to August 15, 2026, as the Archaeological Survey of India prepares for the Independence Day ceremony. The Prime Minister will hoist the national flag and address the country from its ramparts. The Teen Murti museum, which traces India’s prime ministers through archives and artefacts, is also closed on gazetted holidays, including August 15. India Gate commemorates soldiers of the British Indian Army, while the National War Memorial honours personnel of independent India’s armed forces. Rajghat marks Mahatma Gandhi’s cremation site. Security arrangements, road closures and diversions may restrict access around central Delhi, so visitors should check official updates before travelling.
