<P> Giving Jharokha Darshan from this jharokha was a daily feature . This tradition was also continued by rulers who followed Akbar ( r . 1556 -- 1605 CE ) . Jahangir ( r . 1605 -- 27 CE ) and Shah Jahan ( r . 1628 -- 58 CE ) also appeared before their subjects punctiliously . However , this ancient practice was discontinued by Aurangzeb during his 11th year of reign as he considered it a non-Islamic practice , a form of idol worship . In Agra Fort and Red Fort , the jharokha faces the Yamuna and the emperor would stand alone on the jharokha to greet his subjects . </P>
