★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very Nice place,
History: 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-Am is the Hall of Public Audience. This hall was built by Shah Jahan. The hall was first built using red sandstone but was later shell-plastered, giving it a look of white marble.
Agra Fort is a beautifully built fort and has great historic significance. The place is well maintained and we had a great time here. The information boards providing the information about the history associated with the place were also very helpful in appreciating the place further. The view of the Taj Mahal from the fort is also a very pleasant sight.

The king used to occupy a better position than other Nobels of the Darbar. Enjoyed watching the musical nights,wíïh family. The courtyard here only is used for beautiful light and sound program ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Diwan -I - am is a historical landmark This is a lovely, functional building inside Agra Fort, where the Mughal emperor met the public.It isn't very grand or decorative, in comparison to the other buildings within the fort, but that is understandable, given that for all intents and purposes it had an official purpose.
