Structures Inside Agra Fort :-
Moti Masjid :-
Also known as the Pearl Mosque, it is an extremely beautiful structure located in the Agra Fort. The mosque building is currently closed to visitors. Near Moti Masjid is the Meena Masjid, which was the personal dargah of Emperor Shah Jahan.
Nagina Masjid :-
This dargah was built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a private mosque for the ladies of the court.
. Diwan - E - Am :-
This was the hall which was open to the general public. It was here that the very famous Peacock Throne was located, and the room which once housed the throne is richly decorated with white marble.
Diwan - I- Khaas :-
To the right of Sheesh Mahal is located the Diwan-i-Khas, which was a hall, especially for private audience. It is intricately decorated with marble pillars studded with floral patterns of semi-precious stones. Nearby is the Mammam-e-Shahi or Shah Burj, which is used as a summer retreat.
Sheesh Maha :-
One of the most exquisite constructions in the Agra Fort, the Sheesh Mahal is a 'Haram' or dressing room that employs the most sophisticated water engineering designs. The inside of this construction is beautifully decorated with a mosaic of innumerable small mirrors, hence the name.
Musamman Burj :-
To the left of the Khas Mahal is the Musamman Burj, which was also built by Shah Jahan. Octagonal in shape, this tower has an open pavilion, which allows the cool evening air to flow through it. It was the place where Shah Jahan spent his last days as he gazed upon the tomb of his beloved wife, the Taj Mahal..
Khas Mahal :-
Another important structure in the Agra Fort is the Khas Mahal, which has some classical Persian and Islamic influences with a touch of Hindu motifs in its construction. This was the emperor's bedroom or 'rest'.
Jehangiri Maha :-
One of the first architecture after entering the Agra Fort through the Amar Singh Gate is the Jahangir Mahal. Jahangir was the son of Akbar and was the next person after his father to rule the Mughal Empire. Jahangir Mahal was built by Akbar as a women's quarter and was built adjacent to the chambers of his favorite queen Jodha Bai. Simple in its design, the Jahangir Mahal is built in stone and a large stone bowl used for storing rose water has beautifully carved Persian verses..
