The Red Fort: Diwan-i-Khas
The most elaborate of the court buildings, the
Diwan-i-Khas is built entirely of white marble. It was here that
the emperor met with his advisors. Originally decorated with gems and
silver inlaid with gold, and containing the peacock throne, it was
stripped of its opulence by the Persian invader Nadir Shah in 1739.
