Diwan I Am : The Hall of Public audiences was where the emperor would sit to hear complaints or disputes from his subjects. His alcove in the wall was marble paneled and set with precious stones, many of which were looted following the 1857 Uprising. This elegant hall was restored following a directive by Lord Curzon, the viceroy of India between 1898 and 1905.

Diwan I Khas : The Hall of Private audiences, constructed of white marble, was the luxurious chamber where the emperor would hold private meetings. The centrepiece (Until Nadir Shah carted it off to Iran in 1739) was the magnificent solid gold and jewel studded peacock throne. In 1760 the Marathas also removed the silver ceiling from the hall, so today it's a pale shadow of its former glory.
