Diwan-I-Am, from where the emperor Shah Jahan met the public audience. It is a multi pillared hall facing a vast courtyard. The emperor would meet the public sitting on a marble throne in the ornate chamber. To the right of the hall is the moti masjid and to the left was the public entrance gate. The front of the hall has nine arches and the hall has three aisles. The marble dias below the chamber was the seat of wazir.
