The marble screen was carved with the scale of justice, and above it is a particularly important item of Mughal art. The scale used was a depiction of the emperor's justice.The projecting tower to the east of the Khas Mahal is called the Octagonal Tower. The emperor would address his subjects every morning in a ceremony called Jharokha Darshan.
