Great piece of history here. Amazingly maintained.

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.

Diwan-i-Khas, which means the "Hall of Private Audience," is another notable structure within the Red Fort complex in Delhi, India. This hall was used by the Mughal emperors for private and exclusive audiences. Diwan-i-Khas is distinguished by its intricate marble work and a stunning central pillar with a lotus-shaped top. It was in this hall that the emperor would have private discussions with dignitaries, nobles, and important guests. The hall is known for its architectural beauty and the sense of grandeur it conveys, offering a glimpse into the opulence and regal life of the Mughal rulers.

The Diwan-i-Khas is the beautiful👌🏻place, 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. The interior was completely plundered following the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The throne, the carpets, and any other items went missing. The hall today is, therefore, only a shell of what it used to be. Recent restoration work has been redone on the panels of inlay and has also reproduced the gilded pattern on one of the pillars fronting the hall👌🏻👌🏻

But now this place needs to be refurbished by repolishing structure and cleaning the stones

It’s a magnificent structure, true to its name. The exquisitely designed marble structure with four minaret-shaped balconies is filled with grandeur and gorgeous to behold! The plinth is fairly large with marble steps and the plinth walls have symmetrical carvings of lotus. The carvings are very detailed and carefully done.

Situated next to the Khaas Mahal (the Emperor’s private apartments), and separated from it by only a short distance of marble-paved platform, the Diwan-e-Khaas was where the Emperor would have met his elite courtiers to discuss matters of the highest importance to the state. In its heyday, not only did the Diwan-e-Khaas have lovely inlay work (which can still be seen on the bases of the massive white marble pillars), its carved wooden ceiling was covered with beaten gold. Pride of place was, however, reserved for the legendary ‘Peacock Throne’, a huge, lavishly bejewelled throne which cost many lakhs. It was carried off by Nadir Shah when he invaded in 1739 CE, and was subsequently destroyed. One of the pillars here has been somewhat restored by the Archaeological Survey of India (with gold leaf, fresh paint, etc) to give an idea of what the Diwan-e-Khaas may have looked like in Shahjahan’s time, but even without that, it’s an impressive hall.

It is near Red fort and is very big .after along walk you will goto bathroom and pee a hard but it's a goodoniment

Photograph of the interior of the Diwan-i Khas in the Red Fort at Delhi from the Lee-Warner Collection, taken by Samuel Bourne in the 1860s. The Red Fort was built between 1639 and 1648 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (reigned 1628-1658) as the citadel of his new capital city, Shajahanabad. The Diwan-i Khas was reserved for private viewings with the emperor and was the venue for meetings with courtiers, members of government and foreign dignitaries and ambassadors. The pillars are faced in dressed white marble inlaid with coloured gemstones in stylised floral motifs. The famous Peacock Throne, made of gold and gemstones, once stood at the centre of the hall. An inscription written in gold over the top of two outer arches reads: "If there is a Paradise on the face of this earth, It is this, Oh, it is this, Oh, it is this." The photograph is from an album containing mainly architectural and topographical views of sites throughout Western and Northern India, including a number of E.D. Lyon's views of Ahmadabad. The album was formerly in the collection of Sir William Lee-Warner (1846-1912), who served in the Indian Civil Service and was a Member of the Council of India between 1902 and 1912.

in time that left me awestruck. Stepping into this magnificent structure, I was immediately transported to an era of opulence and regal splendor. The Diwan-e-Khas, or "Hall of Private Audience," is a testament to the architectural marvels of the Mughal dynasty. As I walked through the entrance, the intricate marble inlays and delicate designs that adorned the walls and ceilings took my breath away. The craftsmanship displayed here is a true reflection of the artistry and dedication of the artisans of that time. The centerpiece of the hall, the majestic marble throne, is a sight to behold. The meticulous carving and the elegance of the design are a testament to the grandeur that the Mughal emperors sought to convey. Imagining the rulers sitting on this very throne, surrounded by the magnificence of the hall, was a vivid experience that stirred my imagination. The historical significance of Diwan-e-Khas cannot be understated. This was the chamber where the Mughal emperors held private audiences with dignitaries and important guests. The architectural layout, with its distinct tiers and galleries, showcased the strategic positioning of the throne and the audience areas, emphasizing the emperor's elevated status. As a history enthusiast, I was thrilled to see informative placards that provided context and historical insights. Learning about the significance of the hall in various Mughal events and the architectural nuances that made it an exceptional space added depth to my visit. One small suggestion would be the addition of audio guides or guided tours for visitors who wish to delve deeper into the history and intricacies of the Diwan-e-Khas. Such resources could enhance the experience for those who are keen to learn more. In conclusion, the Diwan-e-Khas at Lal Qila is a treasure trove of history and architectural brilliance.

I wholeheartedly award this remarkable historical gem a five-star rating. Every corner of this hall speaks volumes about the grandeur of an era long gone, leaving an indelible mark on every visitor fortunate enough to step into its hallowed halls.

"Diwan-e-Khas" translates to "Hall of Private Audience" and refers to a special audience hall that can be found in many historical palaces and forts in India, particularly during the Mughal era. One of the most famous Diwan-e-Khas is located in the Red Fort in Delhi, which was the main residence of the Mughal emperors for several centuries. The Diwan-e-Khas was a place where the emperor held private meetings, discussions with important dignitaries, and conducted affairs of state. These halls were often adorned with intricate decorations, including exquisite marble work and other artistic details. They were designed to reflect the grandeur and magnificence of the Mughal court.

The Diwan- i- Khas or the private followership hall was one of the most important structures in the red stronghold complex as it was where the emperor used to admit state guests and important members of the court. A significant literal structure in Delhi. A living evidence of the literal period of the Mughal Empire. This place was a court for the upper class society of also- time and the Emperor. The place is simply breathtakingly beautiful. The marbles there carry the history inside them in form of the drawing on them. The flowers in them are significant of the artistic blend up of the Hindu- Muslim. A place for a history- buff! It’s a lovely blockish structure constructed largely of marble girdled and supported by triadic lobed bends. The columns, bends, walls and ceilings are all decorated with inlaid flowery motifs. surely one structure not to be missed.

Amazing creature, seeing that one can have idea about Mughals richness and royalty.

The Red Fort (well-known for its breathtaking architecture) is compact with a multitude of palaces used once by a number of Mughal rulers. Rang Mahal, one of the most remarkable palaces in the fort, literally means “palace of colours”. This palace was used by consorts of emperors and their maids. Khas  Mahal, the stunning personal palace of emperor, is situated near Rang Mahal. It allowed the emperor to pay a visit to his queens anytime he wants. Except the princesses and queens, nobody had the permission to visit Khas Mahal. Do you know that the Red Fort was not always known by its current name? It was originally known as “Qila-e-Mubarak”. This name simplifies to “The Blessed Fort”. There’s no denying machinery and constructed used to be limited in those days, or shall we say, during the reign of Shah Jahan – the grandson of Akbar the Great. It took 10 long years by Ustad Hamid and Ustad Ahmed – the pioneering architects during the time who began the construction in 1638 and completed it a decade later.

Great experience

Another part of the palace which is being hardly maintained at all. No one is allowed to enter the pavilions now are guests provided with protective covers for their shoes as is the case at the Taj Mahal complex. Even while visitors are not allowed to enter the floors are dusty as no one ever sweeps or cleans the pavillion at all. Took me a while to find a decently clean panel to take a photo of the pietra dura workmanship.

Amazing food, fresh and delicious. Good quality and hygienic

A significant historical structure in Delhi. A living proof of the historical era of the Mughal Empire. This place was a court for the upper class society of then-time and the Emperor. The place is simply breathtakingly beautiful. The marbles there carry the history inside them in form of the etching on them. The flowers in them are significant of the cultural mix up of the Hindu-Muslim. A place for a history-buff!
