Shahi Burj

The Shahi Burj (Urdu: Emperor's Tower) is a three-storey octagonal tower of the Red Fort in Old Delhi. The tower is located at the northeastern corner of the imperial enclosure. The water feeding, the Nahr-i-Bihisht, is channeled up from the river with a hydraulic system through the tower and then carried by channels into various other buildings of the fort.

Hira Mahal
Diamond Palace
The Hira Mahal is a pavilion in the Red Fort in Old Delhi located on the eastern wall north of the Moti Masjid. It originally stood as one of two symmetrical pavilions, its twin Moti Mahal at the northern end having been destroyed during the rebellion of 1857 and overlooks the garden along a formal central axis. The pavilion’s simple decoration consists of carved relief arches and overhanging chhajjas, with no inlay work, reflecting the late Mughal taste for restrained elegance.
