red fort
Answers
Explanation:
Last Sunday, the principal of our school arranged a special trip of the senior students to visit the Red Fort. Many of them had already seen then Red Fort but principal desired that they should see it again for better knowledge under proper guidance.
A special bus was hired for the purpose and all students of the class 10th were invited to join the trip. We all reached the school punctually where a special bus was ready to take us to the Red Fort. We reached the Red Fort at ten in the morning and the teacher in charge of the trip, who was a teacher of history, bought tickets for all of us. After buying tickets we stepped into the Red Fort. Along the entrance there were two rows of shops selling fine objects of arts and handicrafts. In the Mughal time this area was known as the Meena Bazar and here the princesses and the queens of the harem made their purchases.
Then we crossed a lawn and made our way into another gate. Here our tickets were checked. This building is known as “Naubat Khana.”
It was the Royal Drum House. Royal musicians used to play musical instruments here in the Mughal times five times a day.
Thereafter we entered “Diwan-e-Aam” or the Hall of Public Audience. It has a marble dais and a marble canopy. Here sat the Mughal Emperor and received the ministers, courtiers and other people who came to meet him on official or public functions. The Emperor sat under the canopy on his throne. His Prime Minister sat on the dais. In olden and golden days the walls of Diwan-e-Aam were covered with paintings and it was decorated with precious stones. But now these valuable treasures are missing. In those days even the humblest citizen could come to Diwan-e-Aam and present his petition to the king if he had any complaint against anybody.
