The Mughal court suggested that everyone – the rich and the poor, the powerful and the weak – received justice equally from the emperor: 

(i)The architectural features highlighted the idea of the king as a representative of God on earth.So, people could identify with the king as a just God. 

(ii) The connection between royal justice and the imperial court was emphasised on by Shah Jahan in his newly constructed court in the Red Fort at Delhi. 

(iii) There were a series of pietra dura inlays behind the emperor's throne which depicted that legendary Greek God Orpheus playing the lute. It was believed that Orpheus’s music could calm ferocious beasts until they resided together peaceably 

(iv) The construction of the audience halls aimed to communicate that the king's justice would treat the high and the low as equals creating a world where all could live together in harmony.
