Malcha Mahal was occupied by a family of three for three decades until 2017. Prince Ali Raza, his mother Wilayat and sister Shakina claimed the palace theirs due their birthright.

The Palace Is Getting Restored

If scribbles in blood red don’t scream haunted house, then we don’t know what does. Did you think this would be a deterrent for Delhi?

Even their photographs have mysteriously vanished. We wonder if they hang proudly in some history enthusiast’s apartment. The silver lining in all this is perhaps recycling and upcycling. The Archaeological Survey of India has proposed to restore the palace to its original glory.
