 Modeled on the lines of a Mughal hall of audience, the "Diwan-e-Aam", the Sabha Niwas, is a hall of the public audience.It has multiple cusped arches supported by marble columns and a beautifully painted plaster ceiling.The jalis on the southern end of the hall would have been used by women to oversee the proceedings in the hall, and facilitated their involvement in the outside world, while following the "purdah".
