Diwan-i-Am or the 'Hall of public audience', was the place where Shah Jahan (A.D.1628-58) received the general public and heard their grievances. With a courtyard in the front, it was originally surrounded by arcaded apartments used by chiefs (Umaras) on duty. With an impressive façade of nine engrailed arch openings, the hall was ornamented with gilded stucco work. In the centre of the eastern wall, stands a marble canopy covered by a Bengal roof, under which was placed the Emperor's throne. A marble dais below the throne, inlaid withsemi precious stones, was used by the Wazir (Prime Minister) for receiving petitions. Behind the canopy, the wall is decorated with beautiful panels inlaid with multi-colored stones (pietra dura work), representing flowers and birds, said to have been executed by Austin de Bordeaux, a Florentine jeweller.

The Diwan-i-Aam is a hall situated inside Laal Qila, Delhi. This was the place where Mughal emperor Shah Jahan used to keep meetings with his people. The room consists of a front hall, open on three sides and backed by a set of rooms faced in red sandstone with engraved arches. At the center of the hall, there's a white throne made of marble.

Situated parallel to the Naubat Khaana/Naqqar Khaana, right behind it, is the Diwan-e-Aam of the Red Fort, the Hall of Public Audience. This is where the Emperor would have attended court where all the courtiers would have been present: he would have heard petitions, received ambassadors and emissaries from abroad, bestowed recognition on those who merited it, and so on. In Mughal times, the red sandstone pillars of the Diwan-e-Aam would have been covered over with limestone plaster polished to an alabaster-like finish, and would have looked vastly different from its more stark (yet still impressively symmetrical) appearance today. One of the highlights of this hall is the white marble throne pavilion that stands against the back wall, in the very centre. The back wall of this little pavilion is exquisitely decorated in pietra dura (coloured stone inlay work) depicting various birds, as well as the legend of Orpheus. Shahjahan is believed to have commissioned a Florentine jeweller named Austin of Bordeaux to create these panels.

The Diwan-i-Am, or Hall of Audience, is a room in the Red Fort of Delhi where the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and his successors received members of the general public and heard their grievances. The inner main court to which the Nakkarkhana led was 540 feet broad, 420 feet deep, and surrounded by arcade galleries, where chieftains on duty were posted. On the further side of it is the Diwan-i-Am. The Diwan-i-Am consists of a front hall, open on three sides and backed by a set of rooms faced in red sandstone. The hall is 100 ft x 60 ft and divided into 27 square bays on a system of columns which support the arches. The roof is spanned by sandstone beams. The proportions of this hall, of its columns, and of the engraved arches show high aesthetics and fine craftsmanship. With an impressive façade of nine engraved arch openings, the hall was ornamented with gilded and white shell lime chunam plaster work. Its ceiling and columns were painted with gold. In the centre of the eastern wall stands a marble canopy covered by a "Bengal" roof. A marble dais below the throne, inlaid with semi-precious stones, was used by the prime minister to receive petitions.

This was the place in Mughal era where the common mens used to come and speaks about their problems before the king. This building is built with full of red stone so it looks good. This monument is situated inside the Red Fort Complex in Delhi. So I will suggest you to visit here.

Diwan- i- Aam is the common citizens' chamber where Shah Jahan( 1628458 announcement) used to meet the general public and hear to their complaints. Place where' Peacock Throne' was kept and it has a' SINGHASAN' where King use to sit and meet common men for the janta darbar. One can recall the old times as shown in pictures and television diurnals, the life of colorful lords and emperors This hall, with a yard in front, was fully girdled by chhatdar chambers, which were used by the chieftains( Umrahs to work. At present there's a marble platform in the middle of the western wall, which is covered with a Bengal- style chhatri. Under which was the throne of the emperor. A marble post speckled with precious monuments is placed just below the throne, which was used by the vizier to admit the letter of complaint. The wall behind this chhatri is veritably beautiful. The panels are decorated withmulti-coloured gravestone inlaid work( Piyata dora kama). The mesmerizing composition of flowers and catcalls oils was executed by Aastan Di Chodon.
