The '''Khas Mahal''' served as the [[Mughal emperor]]'s private residence in [[Delhi]]. The structure is located inside the [[Red Fort]], which is a large defensive and governmental complex located inside the city.<br />
<br />
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 [[gilding|gilded]]. The marble screen was carved with the scale of justice (''Mizan-i-adal''), and above it is a particularly important item of [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] art.<ref name="Murray">{{cite book |last=Murray |first=John |year=1911 |title=A handbook for travelers in India, Burma, and Ceylon |url=https://archive.org/stream/handbooktravelle00john#page/197 |edition=8th |location=Calcutta |publisher=Thacker, Spink, & Co. |page=197 |isbn=978-1175486417 |accessdate=2014-01-25 }}</ref> The scale used was a depiction of the emperor's justice.<ref name="ASI">{{cite web |url=http://asi.nic.in/asi_monu_tktd_delhi_redfort_khasmahal.asp |title=Khas Mahal of Red Fort |year=2011 |website= |publisher=[[Archaeological Survey of India]] |accessdate=2013-12-09}}</ref><br />
<br />
The projecting tower to the east of the Khas Mahal is called the Octagonal Tower (''[[Muthamman Burj (Red Fort)|Muthamman Burj]]''). The emperor would address his subjects every morning in a ceremony called ''[[Jharokha Darshan]]''.<ref name="ASI"/><br />
