Why Go: The 'Diwan-E-Aam' or the 'Hall of Public Audience' is an enchanting chamber, with the ceiling painted in rich red and gold colours, which still looks vibrant. It is a major attraction in the Mubarak Mahal courtyard in the City Palace. This chamber, functioning now as an art gallery, has exhibits of exquisite miniature paintings of Rajastahni, Mughal and Persian art, ancient texts, embroidered rugs, Kashmir shawls and carpets. Also seen in the art gallery is the Golden throne (called as Takth-e-Rawal) that was the seat of the Maharaja during public audience. It was mounted on an elephant or carried by palanquin bearers during the Maharajas visit outside the palace. At the entry gateway to the hall, two large elephants, each made out of single marble rock are on display.
