The historic Red Fort in Delhi is currently hosting an important UNESCO meeting focused on the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. Among the highlights of the event is the return of a symbolic figure related to the past—'Shahjehan'—which refers not to the emperor but to a model of a Boeing 747 named after him.

Displayed prominently in front of a British-era barrack at the site, this Jumbo Jet model is part of Air India's cherished 'Maharaja Collection', now owned by the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA). This collection features ancient sculptures, Mughal miniatures, and iconic Air India posters, emphasizing India's artistic legacy amid the international gathering.

The meeting occurs amidst a backdrop of rapid urbanization, underscoring the urgency of cultural preservation.
