Lord Curzon, realizing the value of this wonderful piece of art in marble with paneled alcove, which was once the Hall of Public Audiences inside the Red Fort, after being looted in the mutiny, ordered for restoration, the results of which is now seen as the Diwan-e-aam. The buildings inside are the gracious style of Moghul rule at it's height. In this society, every man knew his place and behavior was refined into an elaborately stratified social code. The buildings reflect this social code. A raised balcony in the Diwan-e-Aam, or Hall of Public Audience, built by Shah Jehan looked down on the common people who gathered to present petitions and request the settlement of a dispute. Emperor Shah Jahan originally made this structure out of wood, which was later constructed, in the present form. During the reign of Shah Jahan Moghul architecture reached it’s supreme exuberance. He chose marble as the chief medium for all his architectural undertakings. The throne room bears a clear influence of the Emperor’s style with the inlaid carvings and panels of marble with floral motifs. This hall of public hearing is the place where the Emperor heard the petitions of the public and met the officials. This hall gives way to the Nagina Mosque and the Ladies bazar where only ladies merchants were allowed to sell items to the Moghul ladies. The walls, pillars and ceilings were made with gilded stucco and the royal seat was set in carved marble panels with precious stones.
