Diwan-i-Aam

The Diwan-i-Aam, meaning "Hall of Public Audience," was a space in historic Indian palaces where rulers or administrators held sessions to meet and listen to the concerns, grievances, or petitions of common people. It served as a direct channel for citizens to communicate with their leaders, ensuring transparency and accessibility in governance. The Diwan-i-Aam played a vital role in fostering communication between rulers and subjects, allowing for the expression of community issues and fostering a sense of involvement in governance processes.
