Diwan-i-Am was built by Shah Jahan during the years 1628-35 AD. It was the place where the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1628-1658) and his successors met general public and heard their complaints. The massive hall has a flat roof and is divided into three sections. Two arched red sandstone gateways on the north and south lead to the hall. The building, originally built in red sandstone, is plastered over with white shell paste resembling white marble. Its ceiling and columns were painted with gold. In the center of the eastern wall stands a marble canopy under which stood the emperor's throne. The emperor received the general public here and heard their complaints. 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 emperor's chamber. A marble dais below the throne, inlaid with semi-precious stones, was used by the prime minister to receive petitions. The emperor was separated from the courtiers by a gold-plated railing, while a silver railing ran around the remaining three sides of the hall. The audience ceremony is known as Jharokha Darshan.

Lovely place to dance around the woodfire with the soul mate.
The Diwan-i-Aam is the public audience hall where the Mughal Emperor would sit listening to grievances from the public and dispense judgements. The hall is a beautifully symmetrical design of lobed arches that house the throne where the emperor once sat. This is one of the most beautiful buildings of the complex and worth visiting.
Very Beautiful Place with Mughal Architecture.
This was inside red fort and there is a huge Helipad outside of this Building. This is very Beautiful Monument. You must visit atleast once.
