[[File:Red Fort 056.jpg|thumb|The ''Hira Mahal'' of Red Fort]]<br />
The '''''Hira Mahal''''' is a [[pavilion]] in the Delhi [[Red Fort]] located on the eastern wall north of the ''[[Moti Masjid (Red Fort)|Moti Masjid]]''. <br />
<br />
==Architecture==<br />
This four-sided pavilion of white marble was built in 1842, during the reign of [[Bahadur Shah II]]. It stands at the end of a southern axis of the ''Hayat Baksh Bagh'', overlooking it. It is simply decorated, with reliefs but no inlay work. The arches are carved and the pavilion is overhung with ''[[chhajja]]'', overhanging eave. <br />
<br />
Located to the north end was the ''Moti Mahal'', which was an identical structure built at the same time for the northern axis. It was probably destroyed during or after the [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]].<ref name="ASI">{{cite web |url=http://asi.nic.in/asi_monu_tktd_delhi_redfort_pavilions.asp |title=Hayat-Bakhsh Garden and Pavilions |year=2011 |website= |publisher=[[Archaeological Survey of India]] |accessdate=2013-12-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140207091933/http://asi.nic.in/asi_monu_tktd_delhi_redfort_pavilions.asp |archive-date=7 February 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In between these two pavilions was a pool or another structure.<br />
