The Diwan-i-Khas or Hall of Private Audiences, was a chamber in the Red Fort of Delhi built in 1648 as a location for receptions. It was the location where the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan received courtiers and state guests. It was also known as the Shah Mahal. A gate on the north side of the preceding Diwan-i-Am audience hall led to the innermost court of the palace called Jalau Khana and the Diwan-i-Khas. Originally there were two enclosures on the west of the hall, one for the nobles and the other for those of a lower rank. These arcaded courts were destroyed after the Indian Rebellion of 1857. It measures 90 x 67 feet. It consists of a rectangular central chamber, surrounded by a series of arches rising from marble piers. The lower parts of the piers are inlaid with floral designs, while the upper portions are painted and gilded. The four corners of the roof are surmounted by pillared chhatri. The ceiling, which was originally inlaid with silver and gold, was stripped bare by successive financial crises of the empire by the Jats or Marattas. The current ceiling was installed in 1911. The later Peacock Throne from after Nadir Shah's invasion once stood in this hall, towards the east side.
Well Diwan-e-khas was the meeting area in Place of Mughals during Mughals era , where the the emperor discuss with their officers of high rank.. others people and strictly prohibited to enter or join Diwan-e-khas.. In Delhi u can see this place in Laal Quila.. which was build by Mughal emperor Shah janha.. there is a thrown for the emperor in the Diwan-e-khas where emperor sit.. that thrown was made by precious marble and gold and silver.
The Diwan-i-Khas or the private audience hall was one of the most important buildings in the red fort complex as it was where the emperor used to receive state guests and important members of the court. It’s a lovely rectangular building constructed largely of marble surrounded and supported by triple lobed arches. The columns, arches, walls and ceilings are all decorated with inlaid floral motifs. Definitely one building not to be missed.
This place is under construction and restricted for visitors. You can see the amazing architect from outside and the design on the pillars were amazing. Also I was stunned to see under ground rooms build in those age. There are beautiful gardens outside every monuments and it worth mentioning.
