(Translated by Google) Supab place .... Such a great place .. Whoever comes to see the Red Fort must come inside the fort. Inside is the Diwan-i-Mango which is a very beautiful place. Cleanliness is very clear inside. It is believed that there is Mayur Singhasan inside, which is in the Diwan-e-Aam. Diwan-e is seen directly from you Naubat Khana. Love you india (Original) Supab place.... Such a great place.. जो भी लाल किला देखने आता है उसे किले के अंदर जरूर आना चाहिए ।। अंदर दीवान -ए- आम है जो कि एक बहुत ही खूबसूरत जगह है।। अंदर बहूत ही साफ सफाई है।। ऐसा माना जाता है कि अंदर मयूर सिंघासन है।।जो कि दीवान ए आम में ही है।। दीवान ए आप नौबत खाना से सीधा दिखाई देता है।। लव यू इंडिया।।

Diwan-i-Am or the 'Hall of public audience', was the place where Shah Jahan (A.D.1628-58) received the general public and heard their grievances. With a courtyard in the front, it was originally surrounded by arcaded apartments used by chiefs (Umaras) on duty. With an impressive façade of nine engrailed arch openings, the hall was ornamented with gilded stucco work. In the centre of the eastern wall, stands a marble canopy covered by a Bengal roof, under which was placed the Emperor's throne. A marble dais below the throne, inlaid withsemi precious stones, was used by the Wazir (Prime Minister) for receiving petitions. Behind the canopy, the wall is decorated with beautiful panels inlaid with multi-colored stones (pietra dura work), representing flowers and birds, said to have been executed by Austin de Bordeaux, a Florentine jeweller.

The Diwan-i-Am, or Hall of Audience, is a room in the Red Fort of Delhi where the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and his successors received members of the general public and heard their grievances. The inner main court to which the Nakkarkhana led was 540 feet broad, 420 feet deep, and surrounded by arcade galleries, where chieftains on duty were posted. On the further side of it is the Diwan-i-Am. The Diwan-i-Am consists of a front hall, open on three sides and backed by a set of rooms faced in red sandstone. The hall is 100 ft x 60 ft and divided into 27 square bays on a system of columns which support the arches. The roof is spanned by sandstone beams. The proportions of this hall, of its columns, and of the engraved arches show high aesthetics and fine craftsmanship. With an impressive façade of nine engraved arch openings, the hall was ornamented with gilded and white shell lime chunam plaster work. Its ceiling and columns were painted with gold.

Situated parallel to the Naubat Khaana/Naqqar Khaana, right behind it, is the Diwan-e-Aam of the Red Fort, the Hall of Public Audience. This is where the Emperor would have attended court where all the courtiers would have been present: he would have heard petitions, received ambassadors and emissaries from abroad, bestowed recognition on those who merited it, and so on. In Mughal times, the red sandstone pillars of the Diwan-e-Aam would have been covered over with limestone plaster polished to an alabaster-like finish, and would have looked vastly different from its more stark (yet still impressively symmetrical) appearance today. One of the highlights of this hall is the white marble throne pavilion that stands against the back wall, in the very centre. The back wall of this little pavilion is exquisitely decorated in pietra dura (coloured stone inlay work) depicting various birds, as well as the legend of Orpheus. Shahjahan is believed to have commissioned a Florentine jeweller named Austin of Bordeaux to create these panels.

Diwan-i-aam It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. A Mughal historical monument located in the Red fort of Delhi. This palace was originally built by the Sultan to meet the people. The emperor used to meet the people sitting in a room surrounded by golden railings in the corridors of this palace. But during the British period, the British soldiers stole the gold railings. The Emhall of extraordinary beauty is built of red sandstone. Its walls were made of various expensive stones. Today it is one of the most visited places in India.

Visited this place twice so far. This is meeting venue inside the Red fort in Old Delhi. The Mughal Emperors used to discuss topics with ‘Aam ’ or common people of the country/society here. Immediate solutions were also provided for issues that were part of the agenda. It does not have walls made of marble stone like Diwan-i-Khas and it is very plain & simple meeting place. The maintenance needs to improve significantly for the overall red fort interiors.

Totally beauty of the past

Mugal emperors would sit here to listen people.

I visited the site on 8th Oct 2022.On the day it was raining continuously though not heavy but was sufficient to wet u. There was huge rush at ticket counter and people were getting rain as there is not arrangement to save visitors in such a rainy day. People are being charged Rs 80 for entry in the forte Some arrangement is required at ticket point to save visitors from sun or rain .In side forte u can take shelter only in Diwan_i_Aam or Meena bazar

Interesting and beautifully built. Worth a walk through to experience the amazing workmanship.

Very great place to have a look at our heritage.

What a great atmosphere with great artwork all around Really gives you a feeling of Royal emotions and touch.

Historical structure inside Lal Qila. It was the place used for the official affairs of commoners who sought after legal matters such as tax issues, hereditary complications, and awqaf of Mughals.

Place where 'Peacock Throne' was kept and it has a 'SINGHASAN' where King use to sit and meet common men for the janta darbar. One can recall the old times as shown in movies and TV serials, the life of various kings and emperors.

The Diwan-i-Aam is the public audience hall where the Mughal Emperor would sit listening to grievances from the public and dispense judgements. The hall is a beautifully symmetrical design of lobed arches that house the throne where the emperor once sat. This is one of the most beautiful buildings of the complex and worth visiting.

Diwan-i-Am was built by Shah Jahan during the years 1628-35 AD. It was the place where the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1628-1658) and his successors met general public and heard their complaints. The massive hall has a flat roof and is divided into three sections. Two arched red sandstone gateways on the north and south lead to the hall. The building, originally built in red sandstone, is plastered over with white shell paste resembling white marble. Its ceiling and columns were painted with gold. In the center of the eastern wall stands a marble canopy under which stood the emperor's throne. The emperor received the general public here and heard their complaints. This chamber was connected to the royal apartments and the royal ladies could watch the ceremonials of the Diwan-i-Am through the marble windows with perforated screens on the right and left of the emperor's chamber.

The emperor was separated from the courtiers by a gold-plated railing, while a silver railing ran around the remaining three sides of the hall. The audience ceremony is known as Jharokha Darshan.

Good

The Diwan looks same as in the film JodhaAkbar...

The Mughals r marvellous Architects

Simply depressing to see such a wonderful monument being maintained in such an inept manner. Most of the sandstone floors & pillars have years of accumulated dust as no one every cleans them, visitors are not provided with any protective covering for their shoes leading to erosion and discolouration of the floor. The main throne canopy is now covered in glass but it’s so dirty that you can’t even see inside, let alone take a photo. I had to almost sit on the floor as I found a clean spot at the side of the glass enclosure.

In this place, the Peacock Throne or planks were installed, this auditorium was used to talk to the general public and listen to their actions.

One can clearly see the influence of Shah Jahan style on this, which is evident from the carvings of marble on the flowers. In this room, the king used to listen to the pleas of the general public and meet the officials.

Lovely place to dance around the woodfire with the soul mate.

Very Beautiful Place with Mughal Architecture.

The name Red Fort is a translation of the Hindustani Lāl Qila (Hindi: लाल क़िला, Urdu: لال قلعہ), deriving from its red sandstone walls. Lal was derived from Hindustani language meaning "Red" and Qalàh derived from Arabic word meaning "Fortress". As the residence of the imperial family, the fort was originally known as the "Blessed Fort" (Qila-i-Mubārak)Agra Fort is also known as Lāl Qila. Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned construction of the Red Fort on 12 May 1638, when he decided to shift his capital from Agra to Delhi. Originally red and white, Shah Jahan's favourite colours,[7] its design is credited to architect Ustad Ahmad Lahori, who also constructed the Taj Mahal.

Diwan-i-Aam or the Hall of public audience was the was the place where Shah Jahan received the public and heard there grievance

Located inside the Red Fort premise, the Diwan-e-Aam is a historic Hall where the Mughal Emperor met with the people.

It is situated in the Lal Kila Diwan a m aur Hall of public audience was the place where is Shah Jahan received the general public and had their grievances with a Courtyard in the front it was originally Sarai grounded buy Arcade Apartments used by the chiefs on duty. With an impressive facade of nine engeailed arch openings, the hall was ornamented with gilded stucco work, in the centre of the Eastern wall stands a marble canopy covered by Bengal roof under which was Place The Emperor's Throne. Amarbel dies below the Throne inlaid with the semi precious stone was used by the Wazir for receiving petitions Behind the canopy the wall is decorated with beautiful panel in LED with multi coloured stones representing flowers and bird said to have been executed by Austin de Brodeaux, florentine jeweller.

Diwan I Aam as the name suggested is the meeting place of Mughal Emperor with the common people to sort out their grievances. It is a hall, open in three sides and backed by set of rooms. The chair of Emperor or the Singhasana is still there in a glass room. There are some grass fields also there on which you can sit. This was the public audience hall area of the Mughal Emperors dating back to the 1650's. The Emperor sat on his high throne and heard applications from the public and hand down his rulings in the matter. There was a secret viewing area behind the throne were the ladies watched proceedings . Very interesting part of the Red Fort. As is known, "the fifth Mughal ruler, Shah Jahan, claiming that the streets of Agra were too narrow for imperial processions, moved the capital to Delhi, returning to the seat of Islamic conquest" (Catherine B. Asher, 1993). This shift was providential for the Agra Fort, which has survived until today relatively well preserved, while the Red Fort in Delhi (a more important city, and since 1912 also the capital of British India) has suffered much more restructuring. and destruction due to re-use phenomena. This is also seen by the Diwan-i-Am of Delhi, which, although relatively well preserved in its basic structures, suffered because the Red Fort was a place of British military garrison: the military had other priorities that the heritage preservation. Of course, knowing that this is a Diwan-i-Am, that is "public hearing room", we are able, despite the ravages of time, to place the practice of Mughal public hearings in its proper context, as a fundamental moment of their ruling: the Shah shows itself to the people both because he has this a duty towards it, and because doing so he manifests its own semi-divine nature. And we can in turn insert the Diwan-i-Am into the general tradition / topography of the Mughal imperial palaces, masterfully described (once again) by Catherine B. Asher: breaking with the Timurid tradition from which the Mughal rulers came (Asher cites in this regard the case of Samarqand), and instead adapting to the Indian tradition that preceded them, “most Mughal palaces are on the edge of a river or lake and at the same time at the earth of the city”. Always in accordance with the Indian tradition, despite the central position these Mughal palaces ensure privacy - as well as security - through the walls (which the Timuridi palaces, being out of town, mostly didn't have them). Sunday 11th February and we visited The Red Fort and this building was one of the highlights of this amazing historic building. This stunning tall red stone building with its scalloped high archways is the place where Shah Jahan received the general public and heard their grievances. The throne area is now behind glass to protect the structure. Well worth a visit while exploring the Fort.

This was the main court then, where the king used to host state visitors. Good when you see it in daylight. A very large and spacious court. You can also see the main throne where the king sat during the proceedings of the court. You won't miss this during your visit.

A place of historical importance. One of the significant archeological structures by the Mulghal Emperors. This place was a court hall between the Poor/common people and the Emperor. The Singhashana for the Emperor is still there in a glass cage.. a living proof of the history.

Historical judical

Feel proud to have there..

An incredible example of Hindu arches. A must when in Delhi. Unfortunately, usually very crowded.
