From here the palace complex begins with from the Diwan-i-Aam an open raised courtyard with trabeate corridors, just behind which is a structure named the Diwan-i-Khass. This red sandstone building has an interesting interior with a circular carved pillar with serpentine brackets at its centre supporting four walkways to each corner of the square room.
