The Khas Mahal are royal apartments within the Red Fort of Delhi. It has a watercourse running through it. This is called the "Stream of Paradise". Within the Khas Mahal is the emperor's sleeping chamber, Khwabgah, his prayer room, Tasbih Khana and sitting room, Baithak.

Now that the Yamuna river has changed its course, the Khas Mahal overlooked a large open ground where the river used to be. The Khas Mahal overlooks the Yamuna River and is connected to a balcony where the emperor may appear before his subjects at sunrise.

The Stream of Paradise is a water course that brings flowing water through the Khas Mahal. (10 November, 2004)
