The Hammam of the Red Fort in Delhi was the baths of the Mughal emperor. It is located to the north of the Diwan-i-Khas.

The marble hammam were the bath that formed a part of the palace complex. It consists of three apartments separated by corridors.[1]

The two rooms on either side of the present entrance were used it is believed, by the royal children for their bath. The eastern apartment, with three fountain basins was used mainly as the dressing room. It is reputed that perfumed rose-water ran from the taps. There is a basin in the middle of the central room. The western apartment was used for hot or vapour bath, the heating arrangement being fixed in its western wall.

The whole interior is richly decorated with colourful inlaid floral designs in white marble. The floors and dados of these apartments are also built with white marble.
