Detailed Solution

The audience halls of Shah Jahan's period were specially constructed to resemble a mosque.
Qibla was the word that was frequently used to describe the pedestal on which his throne was placed. It also refers to the direction in which the Muslims face prayer since everybody faced that direction when the court was in session. These architectural features presented the idea of the king as a representative of God on earth. The construction of the audience hall of Shah Jahan's aim was to communicate the king's justice, thus treating the high and the low as equals. Shah Jahan's creation of an audience hall aimed to generate a world where all could live together in harmony.
