Malcha Mahal, DelhiAlso known as Wilayat Mahal, Malcha Mahal is situated in the Chanakyapuri area of New Delhi. It was built by Firuz Shah Tughlaq. The place was given to a Princess named Wilayat Mahal who claimed to be the descendant of the royal family of Awadh. She was homeless after the Britishers took over her property. The princess had two kids named Sakina Mahal, and Ali Raza aka Cyrus. After being homeless, they lived at one of the railway stations in Delhi for many years. Later, in 1993, the princess died by suicide at the age of 62. She committed suicide by eating crushed diamond out of depression. The reason behind her mental condition was allegedly the damaged state of the Malcha Mahal. Princess’s kids were young when she died and they slept with their mother’s dead body for days before her death was discovered by others. The kids grew up there in the same house without any help from anyone and haven’t left it since then. They continue to live there without interacting with any other living soul. A few dogs protect the house from any intruders or thieves who have in the past tried to loot the place. People wonder how these two humans survived here for so long without even basic necessities like electricity and water. Till today, the descendants of Malcha Mahal reside there and wear only black robes. They do not talk to anyone and have kept a board outside the place that clearly states that trespassers will be shot down. Being a restricted area, no one goes here.
