Diwan-I-khas
(Hall of Private audience) is a small hall with double marble columns inlaid
with pietra dura decoration. Shahjahan built the structure between 1636 and
1637 and it is where the emperor used to receive the important dignitaries.
On the terrace, in front of this hall, are two marble thrones. The black throne
belongs to Jehangir who, as Prince Salim in rebellion against Akbar at Allahabad,
had ordered it for himself. Below this terrace lies the grand courtyard of Machchi
Bhawan, meant for the harem functions. On another side stands a small mosque
built for Shahjahan by Aurangzeb.
