The Diwan-i-Khas, also known as the Lahore Fort or Hall of Private Audiences, was called the Ghasl Khana, or the washing room. It was a chamber in the Red Fort of Delhi built in 1648 as a location for receptions. You will find this majestic structure located in the north corner of the Pachisi courtyard. It is marked by a carved pillar in the center.
Diwan-e-Khas at Fatehpur Sikri is open throughout the year. The best time to visit is in winter (from November to February) as the weather in the town is most suitable during those days. You can visit it anytime during the day, from sunrise to sunset.
It was the location where the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan received courtiers and state guests. It was also known as the Shah Mahal.

The Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience) is a significant part of the Red Fort in Delhi, India. It served as a space where the Mughal emperors, particularly Shah Jahan, would meet with the general public and hear their grievances or requests.

Key Features:-

Architecture: The Diwan-i-Am is an open hall with a flat roof, supported by elegant sandstone pillars. The hall's design reflects a blend of Persian, Indian, and Timurid architecture, showcasing the grandeur and sophistication of the Mughal era.

Structure: The hall is divided into three sections and has a raised platform or throne (called the jharokha) at the back where the emperor would sit. The central marble canopy, intricately carved and inlaid with semi-precious stones, marked the place where the emperor’s throne was positioned.

Location within Red Fort: The Diwan-i-Am is located near the entrance of the Red Fort and was a space open to the public, unlike the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), which was reserved for private meetings with nobles and dignitaries.

History:-

Built by Shah Jahan: The hall was constructed between 1639 and 1648 by Emperor Shah Jahan during the peak of the Mughal Empire. It was used for official state functions, including addressing public petitions, administering justice, and making important proclamations.

Symbol of Justice: The Diwan-i-Am represented the Mughal tradition of public justice and the ruler’s connection with his subjects. It was a powerful symbol of the emperor's role as the supreme arbiter of justice.

Reviews and Visitor Experience:

Pros: Visitors are often impressed by the hall’s grandeur, the fine craftsmanship of the marble throne, and its historical significance as a place where Mughal emperors interacted with their subjects. It’s an important part of the Red Fort complex, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Cons: The hall itself may not be as visually striking as some of the more ornate structures in the Red Fort (like the Diwan-i-Khas or the Moti Masjid), but it is valuable for its historical importance.

Why Popular:

Cultural Significance: The Diwan-i-Am is crucial to understanding Mughal governance and architecture, offering insights into the relationship between the emperor and the public.

Best for: History enthusiasts, architecture lovers, and tourists visiting the Red Fort who want to explore the different aspects of Mughal-era architecture and governance.

Fun Fact:

The Persian poet Firdausi's famous lines, "If there is a paradise on Earth, it is here, it is here, it is here," were inscribed in a hall in the Red Fort, showing the Mughal fascination with beauty and opulence. The Diwan-i-Am, though not as elaborate as other sections, represents the power and grandeur of the Mughal rule.

Visiting the Diwan-i-Am is an essential part of exploring the vast and historically rich Red Fort complex in Delhi, a monument that holds immense cultural and architectural value in India’s history.
