Deewan e Khaas, Lahore Fort

Shah Jahan's marble Hall of Special Audience, 1645

The Diwan-e-Khas, the Hall of Special Audience, is a white marble pavilion on the northern side of Shah Jahan's Quadrangle in Lahore Fort, built in 1645 as Shah Jahan's last addition to the Fort. The British used it as a military church and rebuilt it in 1904-5; its cusped arches, pietra dura parapet and marble lattice screens survive.
