Diwan-i-Am, Public audience hall in Red Fort, India
The rectangular hall features a marble platform with red sandstone columns supporting twenty-seven square sections divided by engraved arches.
Shah Jahan commissioned the construction of this hall in 1648 as a space where Mughal emperors would address public concerns.
The marble canopy contains detailed floral and bird patterns inlaid with colored stones, crafted by Florentine artisan Austin de Bordeaux.
The hall measures 100 feet by 60 feet, with nine engraved arch openings along the facade decorated in white shell lime plaster.
The central eastern wall contains a raised marble platform where the grand Peacock Throne stood before its removal by Persian forces.
