Diwan-i-Khas, The Red Fort of Delhi, India

Diwan-i-Khas, at Red Fort, Delhi (10 November, 2004)


The Diwan-i-Khas, or Hall of Private Audience, is where the emperor conducted matters of the state. This is where he met his ministers and noblemen. The centrepiece of the Diwan-i-Khas was the legendary Peacock Throne, one of Shah Jahan's seven jewelled thrones. Unfortunately it was carried away by Nadir Shah to Iran in 1739.
