The Malcha Mahal Mystery
The story dates back to the time of India’s freedom when the Malcha Mahal had lost all its glory. Begum Wilayat Mahal found a unique way to protest.
Malcha Mahal iscurrently occupied by 2 members of a royal family of Oudh, Prince Riaz and Princess Sakina, children of Princess Wilayat Mahal, the Begum of Oudh.
Princess Wilayat Mahal was the granddaughter of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Oudh. When Nawab Wajid Ali deposed and his property was seized by Britishers, Begum started to fight with the Indian Government for their property to have that back which is currently shaped into a pharma research center.
She along with her two children and a dog confined herself to the VIP lounge of Railway Station in Delhi for 9 years.. That’s when the Government decided to give them the Malcha Mahal back. But sadly, by that time the Malcha Mahal didn’t provide all the luxuries that it used to. This was surely not less than a ghostly place for a human being full of lizards, snakes, and other insects.
Who possibly can live without water, electricity, and bats all around? The family had also cut themselves off from the outer world. This type of living condition would have an adverse effect on anyone.
The children couldn’t bury her body and lived with her for 10 days. People had a belief that the Mahal had hidden treasures and hence, attacked it and even dug the Begum’s grave. Her children then burned their mother’s body.

History Of Malcha Mahal
Delhiites, Feroz Shah Tuglaq’s 14th century hunting lodge – Malcha Mahal – which lies in ruin due to decades of neglect, is likely to be restored! Once known as the humble abode of an Awadh prince, the dilapidated structure may seem difficult to spot. Wondering why? Given that it was totally hidden by shrubbery growing around it, the decades old monument withering away solely due to sheer neglect. And treasure hunters, don’t worry, everything of any ‘value’ seems to have disappeared long after the ‘royal’ inhabitants have gone. Only broken vessels and furniture have been spotted by people who have visited the structure that now stands abandoned and without anyone to inhabit it.
