DESCRIPTION

Scale of Justice, Fort Delhi Caption: Interior Scale of Justice Fort Delhi. A marvel of whithe[?] marble with colouring of an unrivalled beauty. Larger version Red Fort constructed 1639-48 for Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan. “The Red fort contains all the paraphernalia of the Mughal dynasty including the halls of public & private audience (‘Diwan-i-Am’ and ‘Diwan-i-Khas’), domed and arched marble palaces, plush private apartments, a mosque (Moti Masjid) and richly designed gardens. While the emperor would hear complaints of his subjects at the ‘Diwan-i-Am’, he held private meetings at ‘Diwan-i-Khas’. The fort also houses the Royal Bath or ‘Hammam’, the ‘Shahi Burj’ (Shah Jahan’s private working area) and the famous Pearl Mosque, built by Aurangzeb. In the ‘Rang Mahal’ or the Palace of Colors, lived the Emperor’s wives and mistresses.”
