The Hira Mahal is a pavilion in the Red Fort in Delhi.
It is located on the eastern wall of the fort, located north of the Moti Masjid.
This four-sided pavilion of white marble was built in 1842, during the reign of Bahadur Shah II. It is simply decorated, with reliefs but no inlay work. The arches are carved and the pavilion is overhung with chhajja.
Located on the southern end of the imperial enclosure was the Moti Mahal, which was an identical structure built at the same time. It was probably destroyed during or after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.[1]
