Deewan e Aam, Lahore Fort

Shah Jahan's hall of forty pillars, 1628

The Diwan-e-Aam, the Hall of Public Audience, is the forty-pillared red sandstone hall at the centre of Lahore Fort, ordered by Shah Jahan in 1628 in front of the jharoka of Akbar's palace. It apparently collapsed under Sher Singh's bombardment in 1841 and was rebuilt by the British.
