Description: Agra, INDIA - Diwan-i-Am - Internal Throne - ARCHITECTURE: The Diwan-I-Am was constructed by Shah Jahan between 1631-40. It is believed that from here Shah Jahan addressed the general public as well as the nobility. The Diwan-i-Am or Hall of Public Audiences measures 201’ by 67’. It has two majestic arched gateways of red sandstone on the northern as well as on the southern sides. This flat roofed rectangular assembly hall is open on three sides. The facade is composed of an arcade with nine bold arches supported on strong double columns. The interior is divided into three aisles, constructed in red sandstone, but covered with a highly burnished plaster, which looks like white marble. On the eastern wall of the assembly hall is a richly decorated raised rectangular chamber that served as a throne room from which the sovereign presented himself to those assembled in the hall. It has three arched openings. This portion is constructed in marble and is richly inlaid with precious stones. The Peacock Throne, symbol of the emperor, was taken by Persians who captured the fort. This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition. H. A. Mirza & Sons. Delhi. No. I 090. No. 77679.
