The ''Rang Mahal'' or Palace of Colour is located in the Red Fort, Delhi. It originally served as a part of the imperial harem and was known as the Palace of Distinction (''Imtiyaz Mahal'') during the rule of Shah Jahan. After the British occupied the fort in 1857, Rang Mahal was used as a mess hall for a brief time. The building's interior was once richly painted and decorated. Some apartments of this building are called ''Shish Mahal'' due to tiny pieces of mirrors that cover the ceilings. Through the center of the marble palace, a shallow canal called the Stream of Paradise (''Nahr-i-Bihist'') flowed into a marble basin carved into the floor. Under the ''Rang Mahal'' was a basement (''tehkhana''), which women would use on hot summer days. ==Gallery== File:Ghulam Ali Khan 011b.jpg|Drawing of the interior with the Stream of Paradise in the 1850s File:The lone sentry of Rang Mahal.jpg|Interior with the Stream of Paradise in 2012 File:Ceiling of Rang Mahal, Red Fort, Delhi.jpg|The mirrored ceiling 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rang Mahal (Red Fort)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
