Diwan-i-Khas

Agra Fort

The Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience) was built in 1635 and was used to receive heads of state, ambassadors, and other diplomatic visitors to the Mugal court. The dome of the adjoining Musamman Burj is visible to the left.

The colonnade below the terrace level fronts a formal garden, the Anguri Bagh (Grape Garden). Underneath the terrace is a warren of rooms and chambers including hot-weather retreats and possibly a dungeon.
