Greathfull 💯💯One of the greatest monuments of India and the walk around the place is so peaceful. A must visit for relaxation and learning more about the history of Indian revolution of getting freedom. There are also museums within to learn more about each initiative and weapons used during that time. Great place to be opted for children to understand our history and explore this monument. Also, they host lot of shops within the premises. During Indian Independence day the Indian flag is hoisted here💯💯💯💫🤩🤩🤩🤩

The Khas Mahal served as the Mughal emperors private residence in Delhi. The structure is located inside the Red Fort, which is a large defensive and governmental complex located inside the city.It consists of three parts: the Chamber of Telling Beads (Viz-tasbih-khana), the sleeping chamber, (khwabgah) and the wardrobe (tosha-khana) or sitting room (baithak). The interior is decorated with carved white marble painted with colourful floral decorations. The ceiling was also partially gilded. The marble screen was carved with the scale of justice (Mizan-i-adal), and above it is a particularly important item of Mughal art. The scale used was a depiction of the emperors justice.The projecting tower to the east of the Khas Mahal is called the Octagonal Tower (Muthamman Burj). The emperor would address his subjects every morning in a ceremony called Jharokha Darshan.Khas Mahal was the daughter of Zain Khan Koka. Zain Khan was the son of Khawajah Maqsud of Herat and Pija Jan Anaga, foster-mother of Emperor Akbar. Khans paternal uncle, Khawajah Hassans daughter, Sahib Jamal had been married to Jahangir, and was the mother of his son Prince Parviz Mirza.Khas Mahal had two brothers, named Zafar Khan and Mughal Khan. The former served under Akbar and Jahangir, and died on 7 March 1622. The latter served under Jahangir and his son Shah Jahan, and died on 1 July 1657. A sister of Khas Mahal was married to Mirza Anwar, a son of Mirza Aziz Koka, Akbars foster-brother.In 1596 Prince Salim (future Emperor Jahangir) became violently enamoured of her, and meditated marrying her. Akbar was displeased at the impropriety. The cause of Akbars objection was Sahib Jamal who had already been married to Salim. Akbar objected to marriages between near relations.However, when Akbar saw that Salims heart was immoderately affected, he, of necessity, gave his consent. There was a great feast and joy. The marriage took place on the eve of 28 June 1596 at the house of Empress Hamida Banu Begum.When Jahangir ascended the throne, Khas Mahal became empress. Sir William Hawkins, a representative of the English East India Company noted her among Jahangirs chief wives.In 1642-43, Khas Mahal commissioned a palace near the old fort in the neighborhood of Nizamuddin, Delhi.The Khas Mahal served as the Mughal emperors private residence in Delhi.

⛲⛲The Khas Mahal is one of the white marble buildings in the Red Fort and is included in entrance to the fort. It served as the emperor’s private apartment. The graceful scalloped arches, walls and ceilings are embellished with a delicate floral motif. Gorgeous carved marble screens! Look for the Scale of Justice, an important piece of Mughal art.

Flanked by the majestic Yamuna on one side and the Anguri Bagh on the other, Khas Mahal, also known as Aramgah-i-Muqaddar, was a private palace built by Shah Jahan for his daughters Roshnara and Jahanara. Construction of the Khas Mahal began in 1631 and was completed in 1640. The Khas Mahal has heavily adorned ceilings and alcoves in the walls around. They once contained portraits of Mughal rulers. Iron rings visible on the ceilings were where chandeliers once hung. Take a stroll through Khas Mahal and enjoy its beautiful tanks, fountains, marble domes, open courtyards and a large central hall.

During my holidays in Delhi, I had visited the giant Red Fort complex and this palace is located inside the fort. This was the private palace of the Mughal emperor and is definitely the most beautiful one inside the fort complex. The intricately carved floral designs on the walls and ceiling of this palace is spectacular. The beautiful structure is in need of maintainence and was undergoing restoration by ASI when we visited.

Khas Mahal is an architectural structure of the Mughal era, located straight in front of the Diwan-i-Aam within the complex of Indian historical heritage of Lal Quila (Red Fort). Khas Mahal was the living place of the Mughal emperors who rules over a large part of the Indian subcontinent, just next to the Rang Mahal - the living place for their wives!
