Opposite to the Diwan-i-Khaas is the Macchhi Bhawan, the Fish Enclosure meant for harem functions. The emperor sat on the white marble platform of the Diwani-i-Khas facing this courtyard.
Description   
It once contained pools and marble fountains which were carried off by Jat Raja Surajmal to his palace at Deeg. On another side stands a small mosque built for Shahjahan by his son Aurangzeb.
