Feroz Shah Kotla Fort Haunted

Yet addition to horror places in Delhi, the ruins of what must have been a grand fort once see little crowd today, except for Thursdays. Come Thursday and you will see a steady trickle of djinn believers thronging the place.

 Once the rituals of praying and leaving wishes written on a letter are over, the fort complex gets eerily silent. 

It is widely believed that djinns roam free in the fort complex once the sun sets, marking their territory and scaring away anyone who wants to enter the complex.

 Such is the belief in the story that all the nearby houses are built facing the other side in order to keep the djinns away.

Feroz Shah Kotla Fort, one of the haunted forts in India. It is located on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg in Delhi and was established by Feroz Shah 

Tughlaq in 1354 on the bank of Yamuna River.

 The Fort had a Pillared halls, Palace, Mosque and water tank (Baoli).

At the main entrance there is a plain Iron Gate bearing the board of Feroz Shah Kotla and supporting an adjoining guard post placed on the other side. 

The boundary walls are built as stone stonework & it all seems like a plain garden decorated with banquet parts of a damaged structure.

This place was the first stop of our HOHO bus tour of Delhi and we were too excited to visit this place as it was one of haunted place in Delhi which has jinns who fulfill the wish of the nearby people.

Every Thursday, this fort is visited by many locals with candles, incense sticks and leaving offerings of milk and grain to appease the Djinns & spirits that are said to reside in this fort.

 This fort is open to all with minimum changes as admission fee.

The Firoz Shah Kotla Mosque, one of the most likely buildings within the city.

 Apparently, the mosque ruins around the iron cases, a wardrobe, and few carpets and has green dome rooftop which lies unattached to the whole structure.
