Due to lack of money, the Marathas removed the silver roof of Dewan-e-Khas, to raise funds for the protection of Delhi from the forces of Ahmed Shah Durrani. To assemble money, during this time the silver roof of the Rang Mahal was replaced with copper and the Peacock Throne was also included in the Red Fort.
