Red Fort Delhi - Qila-i-Mubarak Part 2
21:15:00
Red Fort is consists of many different architecture like Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i- Khas, Khas Mahal, Rang Mahal, Moti Masjid and many more. This post is continuation of my previous post about Red Fort.
The entrance to the Red fort is through another gate called Naqqar Khana, also known as the “Drum House”. There used to be a musician's gallery at Naqqar Khana. The emperor was welcomed with music whenever he came to the fort and wished a happy journey with music when he went away.
Diwan-i-Khas, The Hall of Private Audience, was used by the emperor for meeting the courtiers and guests. The hall is made of white marble. The hall is open on the sides and the ceiling and columns are heavily decorated with floral carvings and inlaid with semi-precious stones.
Diwan-i-Aam, The Hall of Public Audiences, was the place where the emperor met common men and heard about their problems. As one passes through Naqqar Khana, there is a long passage to Diwan-i-Aam, which lush green lawns on both sides. The Diwan-i-Aam is a big hall, open on three sides.
The Moti Masjid, also known as the Pearl Mosque, was constructed by Aurangzeb during 1659-60 for his private use. The mosque was also used by the ladies in the palace.
