v2.c31.s5.7

One of the most picturesque features about this palace is a marble pavilion, in two storeys, that surmounts one of the circular bastions on the river face, between the haram and the Dîwân-i-Khâss. It looks of an earlier style than that of Shâh Jahân, and if Jahângîr built anything here it is this. On a smaller scale, it occupies the same place here that the Chalîs Sitûn did in the palace at Allahâbâd; and exemplifies, even more than in their larger buildings, the extreme elegance and refinement of those who designed these palaces.¹
