Mughal Court of Aurangzeb
“The Diwan-i-Khas at Delhi's Red Fort, c. 1670. Emperor Aurangzeb holds private audience on the Peacock Throne. Foreground shows the jeweled throne with two peacock backs flashing red and green; midground reveals nobles in jamas and turbans bowing low; through marble screens, the Yamuna sparkles past inlaid arches and gilded vaults set with carnelian and lapis.”
