Khas Mahal

The very name of this exquisitely decorated chamber—‘khaas’ means ‘select’ or ‘elite’—indicates that it was meant for the Emperor. The Khaas Mahal would be where the Emperor spent his most private moments, and it included a Tasbeeh Khaana (‘a room for telling of beads’, that is, a worship chamber) and a Khwaabgah, a ‘chamber of dreams’, or a bedroom. Very fine carving, including delicate jaalis (filigree screens) of white marble, a depiction of the scales of justice, and marble panels so thin they are translucent, make this an especially beautiful little palace.

Note that like most of the palaces in the fort, this one is now out of bounds for the public. Earlier, you could at least step up onto the platform and peer in for a closer look; now even that is not allowed, so you have to be content with looking up from ground level.
