Diwan-i-aam, the hall of public audience at Agra Fort
Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Agra, India. The fort is also known as Lal Qila, Fort Rouge and Red Fort of Agra. It is about 2.5 km northwest of its much more famous sister monument, the Taj Mahal. The fort can be more accurately described as a walled palatial city.
Agra Fort built by Akbar in Red Sandstone when he was through with the consolidation of his power after accession to power in 1654, Agra Fort worked both as a military strategic point as well as the royal residence.
Ever since Babur defeated and killed Ibrahin Lodi at Panipat in 1526, Agra played an important center of Mughal Empire it was in a ruined condition and Akbar decided to make it his capital and arrived in Agra in 1558 Akbar had it rebuilt with red sandstone. Architects laid the foundation and it was built with bricks in the inner core with sandstone on external surfaces. Some 1,444,000 builders worked on it for eight years, completing it in 1573.
At the end of his life, his son, Aurangzeb, in the fort, a punishment that might not seem so harsh, considering the luxury of the fort, imprisoned Shah Jahan. It is rumored that Shah Jahan died in Muasamman Burj, a tower with a marble balcony with an excellent view of the Taj Mahal.
The fort contains splendid palaces both in red sandstone and white marble built by two generations of prolific builders Akbar and later Jehangir and Shahjahan. Of the nearly 500 Akbari buildings built in the Bengal and Gujarati traditions only a few have survived, arrayed in a band on the riverfront.

Agra Fort : Diwan-I-Am or Hall of Public Audience
Walk through the Agra Fort in Uttar Pradesh. One can see the Hall of Public Audience or Diwan-i-aam, Haveli of Ratan Singh and Jahangir Mahal.
Agra Fort was built in the year 1573 under the reign of Akbar – one of the greatest Mughal Emperors. It took more than 4000 workers and eight years of hardship to complete the fort. Knowing the significance of its location, Akbar built the fort to make it the main residence of the Mughals. The fort remained as the main residence of the emperors belonging to the Mughal dynasty until the year 1638. The fort houses numerous impressive structures like the Jahangir Mahal, Khas Mahal, Diwan-i-Khass, Diwan-i-Am, Machchhi Bhawan and Moti Masjid. In 1638, the capital of the Mughal dynasty was moved from Agra to Delhi, causing the Agra Fort to lose its status as the main residence of the Mughal emperors. The fort is separated from its sister monument Taj Mahal by just 2.5 kilometers. Often described as the walled city, Agra Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today, the fort is a major tourist spot and attracts many tourists from all over the world.

Agra Fort : Diwan-I-Am or Hall of Public Audience
A result of earliest manifestation of Shah Jehan's love for marble, Diwan-I-Am or Hall of Public Audience was the place where the emperor addressed the general public as well as the nobility. Constructed between 1631-40, it is situated close to Machchhi Bhawan. The huge assembly hall measuring 201' by 67' has flat roof and two arched red sandstone gateways to the north and south. The façade has an arcade with nine bold arches and the hall is divided into three aisles. Though the building was constructed in red sandstone, yet it had been plastered with white shell plaster to resemble the white marble. The raised rectangular chamber from where the emperor addressed the people was ostentatiously ornamented.
Made in marble, this 'jharokha' with a three-arched opening and inlaid with precious stones, was known as the 'Takht-i-Murassa' (the Throne Room). 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 enperor's chamber, while not being seen by those in the hall. The marble dias below this chamber was known as 'Baithak'. It used to serve as the seat for Wazir, who presented petitions to the emperor. It is said that the hall used to have silver balustrades for the nobility, where they could stand according to their ranks and the outlines of the columns and the spandrels were done in gold.

Diwan-i-Khas/Khas Mahal: Red Fort, Delhi
Diwan-i-Khas/Khas Mahal: Red Fort, Delhi
The Diwan-i-Khas, or Hall of Private Audiences, in the Red Fort of Delhi built in 1571 was the place where the Mughal emperor Akbar received courtiers and state guests. It was also known as the Shah Mahal. It measures 90 x 67 feet. It consists of a rectangular central chamber, surrounded by a series of arches rising from marble piers. The lower parts of the piers are inlaid with floral designs, while the upper portions are painted and gilded. The four corners of the roof are surmounted by pillared chhatri. The ceiling, which was originally inlaid with silver and gold, was stripped bare by successive financial crises of the empire by the Jats or Marattas. The current ceiling was installed in 1911. The later Peacock Throne from after Nadir Shah's invasion once stood in this hall, towards the east side. Through the centre of the hall flowed the Stream of Paradise (Nahar-i-Bihisht). The building used to have red awnings, or shamianas. The interior was completely plundered following the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The throne, the carpets, and any other items went missing. The hall today is, therefore, only a shell of what it used to be.
Diwan-i-Khas , Red Fort , Agra
At a distance of 4.5 km from Agra Cantonment Railway Station and 2.5 km from Taj Mahal, the Diwan-i-Khas or Hall of Private Audience is situated backside of the Machchhi Bhawan inside the Agra Fort.
Diwan-i-Khas or Hall of Private Audience was built by Shah Jahan in the year 1635 AD. It was used by the emperor for holding cultural events and meetings important guests such as kings, ambassadors and nobles in private and to deal with important affairs of the state.
It consists of two large halls, an outer columned hall and inner closed hall, both connected by three archways. The outer hall is covered by a flat roof supported on multifoil arches springing from exquisitely fine marble pillars. The marble pillars are inlaid with semi-precious stones and coloured flower patterns. The hall is exquisitely decorated with carvings and flat wooden ceiling which used to be covered with gold and silver leaves to imitate the rays of the sun. The hall represents the royal accesses and thus the interior hall has Persian inscriptions inlaid in black stone. The hall was remarkable for the presence of the celebrated Takht-i-Taus (Peacock Throne) which was made in 1634 AD and placed here. Later it was shifted to Delhi after the construction of the Red Fort in 1648.
The Inner hall, about which Abdul Hamid Lahauri recorded as Tambi Khana, has Shah-Nashin alcoves with a raised seat for the Emperor. The walls in between the two halls have beautiful jalis, beautifully designed and finished with floral patterns.
Red fort Delhi | लाल किला का अदभुत नज़ारा | Diwan-i-Khas | Episode 4
This video is about Red Fort Delhi India.
Episode -1
Episode-2
Episode-3
Lal Kila – लाल किला 1857 तक तकरीबन 200 सालो तक मुगल साम्राज्य का निवास स्थान था। लाल किला / Red Fort दिल्ली में है। मुगल शासनकाल में लाल किला मुख्य किले के रूप में था, ब्रिटिशो के लगभग सभी कार्यक्रम लाल किले में ही होते थे।
लाल किले का निर्माण 1648 में पाँचवे मुगल साम्राज्य शाहजहाँ ने अपने महल के रूप में बनवाया था। लाल किला पूरी तरह से लाल पत्थरो का बना होने के कारण उसका नाम लाल किला पड़ा।
1546 में इस्लाम शाह सूरी द्वारा बनाये सलीमगढ़ किले की तरह ही लाल किले का भी निर्माण किया गया था। इस खुबसूरत किले में रंगमंच की कतारे बनी हुई है जो पानी के चैनल से जुडी हुई है और यह नहर-ए-बहिश्त कहा जाता है।
यह किला मुग़ल शासक शाहजहाँ के शासनकाल की रचनात्मकता का प्रतिनिधित्व करता है। मुस्लिम परंपराओ और प्रतिमानों के अनुसार ही इस किले का निर्माण किया गया था। लाल किले में हमें मुस्लिम महलो की प्रतिकृतिया दिखाई देती है, साथ भी लाल किले में हमें पर्शियन परंपराओ की छवि भी दिखाई देती है।
किले के बाहर एक मनमोहक गार्डन भी है लेकिन लाल किले में बना गार्डन हमें दिल्ली, राजस्थान, पंजाब, कश्मीर, ब्रज और रोहिलखंड के गार्डन से थोडा अलग दिखाई देता है। सलीमगढ़ किले के साथ ही लाल किले को भी 2007 में यूनेस्को वर्ल्ड हेरिटेज साईट में शामिल किया गया था।
स्वतंत्रता दिवस (15 अगस्त) के दिन भारत के प्रधानमंत्री लाल किले के मुख्य द्वार पर तिरंगे को फहराते है और एक भाषण भी देते है।
शाह जहाँ ने 1638 में जब अपनी राजधानी को आगरा से दिल्ली स्थानांतरित करने का निर्णय लिया तभी लाल किले का निर्माण करवाया। वास्तविक रूप से देखा जाये तो सफ़ेद और लाल शाह जहाँ के पसंदीदा रंग है, लाल किले को आर्किटेक्ट उस्ताद अहमद लाहौरी ने ही डिजाईन किया था, और उन्होंने ने ही ताज महल का भी निर्माण किया था।
यह किला यमुना नदी के पास ही बना हुआ है, और इसी वजह से लाल किले की दीवारे और भी मनमोहक नज़र आती है। लाल किले का निर्माणकार्य 13 मई 1638 को शुरू हुआ था। और शाह जहाँ के नियंत्रण में इसका निर्माण कार्य 1648 में पूरा हुआ। दुसरे मुगल किलो की तरह ही इस किले की सीमा पर बनी दीवारे भी सलीमगढ़ किले की तरह असममित ढंग से बनी हुई है।
उस समय मनमोहक लाल किला बनने की वजह से दिल्ली को शाहजहानाबाद कहा जाता था। शाह जहाँ के शासन काल में लाल किला उनके शासनकाल की रचनात्मकता का प्रतिक माना जाता था। शाह जहाँ के बाद उनके उत्तराधिकारी औरंगजेब ने कृत्रिम मोतियों से बनी मस्जिद का भी निर्माण करवाया था, साथ ही औरंगजेब ने प्रवेश द्वार को और भी मनमोहक बनाने के लिये काफी कुछ बदलाव किये।
मुगल साम्राज्यों द्वारा किये गये किलो के निर्माण का औरंगजेब ने काफी पतन किया और 18 वी शताब्दी में मुगल शासनकाल में बने किलो और महलो को काफी क्षति भी पहोची। 1712 में जब जहंदर शाह ने लाल किले को हथिया लिया था तब तक़रीबन 30 सालो तक लाल किला बिना शासक के था।
लेकिन शासनकाल के लागु होने के एक साल पहले ही शाह जहाँ की हत्या हो गयी और उनकी जगह फर्रुख्सियर ने ले ली। अपने राज्य की आर्थिक स्थिति सुधरने के लिये चाँदी की छत को कॉपर की छत में बदला गया।
1758 में मराठाओ ने लाहौर पर विजय हासिल की और पेशवा भी अहमद शाह दुर्रानी से संघर्ष करते नज़र आ रहे थे। 1760 में मराठाओ ने राजस्व बढ़ाने के लिये दीवान-ए-खास की चाँदी की छत को हटा दिया, क्योकि अहमद शाह दुर्रानी की सेना को परास्त करने के लिये उन्हें भारी राजस्व की जरुरत थी।

Diwan e aam || Inside ||Agra fort
Shah Jahan's built-in throne in the Diwan-i-Am is one of the glories of the Red Fort. Miraculously surviving the waves of unrest with remarkably little damage, it gives m taste of the original extravagance and supremely high quality of all the Fort decoration. Built of white Makrana marble quarried near Jaipur, the platform walls are carved in relief with clumps of flowers set in decorative borders.
Diwan e Khas || Agra fort
The Diwan-i-Khas, or Hall of Private Audiences, in the Red Fort of Delhi was the place where the Mughal emperor received courtiers and state guests. It was also known as the Shah Mahal. A gate on the north side of the preceding Diwan-i-Am audience hall led to the innermost court of the palace called Jalau Khana and the Diwan-i-Khas.Originally there were two enclosures on the west of the hall, one for the nobles and the other for those of a lower rank.These arcaded courts were destroyed after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
AGRA FORT: HOME OF THE MUGHAL EMPERORS! (4K)
Please join me for a tour of the impressive Agra Fort in Agra, India, another must-see in Agra in addition to the Taj Mahal, which you can see from Agra Fort. Agra Fort, which is also known as the Red Fort, was the main home of the Mughal Emperors until 1638 when the capital shifted from Agra to Delhi. It was home to Akbar the Great, who built much of the fort in 1573; his son Jahangir; and Jahangir's son Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal, but who was imprisoned here by his own son. In a cruel irony, Shah Jahan could only see the Taj Mahal from his room but could never again visit his own masterpiece. Agra Fort is made of red sandstone but much of it was rebuilt by Shah Jahan in white marble. Some of the impressive buildings inside Agar Fort include Jahangir Palace, Musamman Burj, Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), and Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque).
