Delhi, the historical capital of India, is all about stories of the past. Among several landmarks, there’s one unusual place that stands out as a whispered legend of supernatural intrigue known as Machla Mahal. The place is still shrouded in mystery.

Let’s find out more about this mysterious place.

History of Malcha Mahal

For those who don’t know, Malcha Mahal is a Tughlaq-era hunting lodge built in 1325 by Feroz Shah Tughlaq. The palace is situated in Malcha, which is one of the pretty hamlets around Raisina Hill.

For centuries, the mansion remained abandoned before a mysterious family started living there. The family claimed to be descendants of the Nawab of Awadh. Wilayat Mahal, head of the family, along with her son Ali Raza and daughter Sakina Mahal started living inside the palace. She claimed to be the great-granddaughter of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah and for years, she used to live near the New Delhi station.

She demanded the Indian government to return her ancestral property, which was seized by the British illegally. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, got involved in this and after looking at the miserable condition of the family ordered to find a residence for Wilayat Mahal. Eventually Malcha Mahal was given to them and the family moved into the property in 1985.

Haunted tales

As per locals, the palace is haunted by the spirit of Begum Wilayat Mahal. She committed suicide after allegedly gulping down crushed diamonds. The last member of this mysterious royal family Prince Ali Raza also died in 2017. He was found dead inside the palace.

The reputation of Machla Mahal as one of the most haunted places in Delhi attracts a number of paranormal enthusiasts and thrill-seekers. Several visitors come here in the hopes of an eerie encounter, laced with modern cameras and voice recorders. Some also carry ghost-hunting equipment.

But irrespective of Machla Mahal’s haunted reputation, the place remains an important part of Delhi's historical heritage and it stands as a witness to the city's rich past.

#FishFriday:

Plate with Emblematic Pairs of Fish (mahi-ye maratib)

India, Uttar Pradesh, Awadh, Lucknow, c. 1880

Bidri-ware (zarbuland technique)

D: 6 3/4 in. (17.15 cm); H: 1/2 in. (1.27 cm)

LACMA M.2001.100

“The primary decoration on this bidri ware plate is a pair of fish arranged head-to-head with their curved bodies forming a circle. Known as the mahi-ye maratib (Fish of Dignity), it was an insignia of exalted rank that the Mughal emperors and earlier Middle Eastern rulers bestowed upon their subordinate chieftains in recognition of valorous military service. In 1720 it was awarded by the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah (r. 1719–48) to Saadat Khan, the Governor of Akbarabad (Agra), who soon became the Governor of Lucknow from 1722 to 1739. The fish emblem subsequently served as the dynastic leitmotif of the Lucknow court and was frequently displayed on its decorative arts and palatial architecture. It was represented in state processions as a fish and two gilt globes carried on a standard. A heraldic form consisting of a pair of honorific mermaids bearing a crown and flanking a shield was used as the personal coat of arms of King Wajid Ali Shah (r. 1847–56). Bidri ware is made from a predominately zinc-based alloy, along with smaller amounts of lead, copper, and/or tin. The ornamentation of bidri ware from the Deccan and eastern India typically features inlaid silver sheet or wire designs, which are rendered flush and burnished. Lucknow bidri ware is distinctive in that it is often executed in bold relief (zarbuland technique), in which the inlaid metals are allowed to remain protruding slightly above the surface and are then adorned with sheet overlay and incised motifs.”

Lucknow is a odd place. Go to its restaurants. Big and small. And you'll see a portrait of a king showing off his one nipple. Nawab Wajid Ali Shah - last Nawab of Awadh. I was pleasantly surprised to find his portrait in a Awadhi restaurant in Bangalore recently (Rumi in Indiranagar, there's another on Church Street too - I can't remember it's name). Nawab enjoyed huge support among his subjects. Large emotional appeal that extends even today. Unable to properly understand the popular support Wajid Ali Shah enjoyed, the EIC decided to annex the kingdom in February 1856 under the pretext of maladministration [the British version of events; in reality, the Nawab had tried to reform his administration but was hamstrung by the British; he also wrote a fairly detailed book on administration which they ignored]. This acted as a spark for the 1857 mutiny in Lucknow. People rose in rebellion after their nawab was humiliated.

But Nawab was stripped off his kingdom and taken to Lucknow. In Calcutta, Wajid Ali Shah refused to acknowledge that his reduced circumstances required a change in his behaviour. His spending was not his only pretension to royalty. He carried on with his ‘court’, paying salaries to thousands of people.

He allowed a rich cultural life to flourish around him. He built architecture around him. Oh, the popular Calcutta biryani with aaloo is his gift to the city and world. If for some reason you don't like Calcutta Biryani and frown at aaloo, I'm very sad to tell you, you've not yet tasted the proper Calcutta biryani. A good one would stay with you for long time. Unlike other biryanis, Calcutta biryani like simple foods, strikes and comforts your soul. It's an experience in itself.

gauhar jaan, born in the north-western provinces and oudh and later moved to bengal presidency, was armenian. her name was angelina yeoward; she and her mum converted to islam and her mum was a tawaif in the court-in-exile of wajid ali shah in metiaburj, calcutta. she became a sensation, a herald of a new technology of the time and one of the first recording artists in the empire. this place is one where people have been coming to and residing in for centuries. examples are plenty, stretching back to the times of king solomon. the nasrani of this land have done the qurbana kramam (holy liturgy) on mawlada de maran (birth of jesus) centuries before a single englishman knew what christianity was. i am not saying this land is exceptional. just offering that the cultural fount of the subcontinent runs deep and is very difficult to fathom. to impose a common purely brahmanical identity on extremely diverse peoples is pure tyranny. india itself is the greatest fascist idea ever. now on its way to becoming a monocultural empire of morons.

Biryani, the Bengali Way

When it comes to biryani, every region in India has its own unique touch, but the Bengali biryani stands out for its rich flavors, subtle spices, and a surprising ingredient: potatoes. Rooted in history and tradition, Bengali biryani is more than just a dish; it’s an experience that evokes nostalgia and a sense of cultural pride.

The History Behind Bengali Biryani

Bengali biryani traces its origins to the kitchens of the Nawabs of Bengal, particularly Nawab Wajid Ali Shah. Exiled to Kolkata from Lucknow, he brought with him the royal Awadhi cuisine, which over time blended with Bengali flavors and ingredients to create this unique biryani variant. The inclusion of potatoes and boiled eggs in Bengali biryani is said to reflect the Nawab’s effort to maintain the richness of the dish despite resource constraints.

What Sets Bengali Biryani Apart?

Potatoes as the Hero: The perfectly cooked, golden potatoes are a hallmark of Bengali biryani. They absorb the aromatic spices and ghee, making them a delightful addition to every bite.

Subtle Spices: Unlike its spicier counterparts, Bengali biryani uses a delicate balance of spices like cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and mace, offering a more nuanced flavor.

Aromatic Rice: Long-grain basmati or gobindobhog rice is used, infused with saffron or kewra water for an irresistible aroma.

Tender Meat: Typically made with mutton, the meat is marinated and slow-cooked to perfection, blending seamlessly with the rice.

Eggs for Extra Flair: The addition of boiled eggs not only enhances the dish’s flavor but also its visual appeal.

Devotional Music's New Icons: The Resurgence Led by Wajid Ali

In South Asia, the resurging interest in devotional music marks a pivotal shift in the cultural landscape. Central to this revival is Wajid Ali, a musician who has blended traditional religious motifs with contemporary soundscapes, creating a new wave of spiritual anthems that resonate across generations. His work is not only reviving but redefining the genre, offering a modern twist to devotional themes that have long been a staple in South Asian music.

The Role of Digital Platforms in Wajid Ali's Reach

The digital era has proven indispensable for devotional artists like Wajid Ali, allowing them to reach a broader, more diverse audience. Platforms that once propelled pop and Bollywood sensations are now showcasing spiritual music, giving it a prominence that was harder to achieve in the past. This digital leap is crucial for understanding the current prominence of devotional music, as it aligns with the wider accessibility and acceptance of diverse musical forms. Artists such as Neeraj Shridhar and Varun Jain, who have mastered the digital sphere, underscore the potential that Wajid Ali taps into, leveraging online platforms to disseminate his soul-stirring melodies far and wide.

Influences and Inspirations in Wajid Ali's Music

Wajid Ali's music is deeply rooted in the rich musical heritage of South Asia, drawing inspiration from both classical and contemporary sources. His ability to fuse these influences makes his compositions unique, appealing to both young and older listeners. This blend of the old with the new is reminiscent of the approaches taken by other artists like Sohail Sen, who infuse traditional Indian music with modern genres to create sounds that are both innovative and nostalgic. Wajid's music, however, serves a more spiritual purpose, aiming to uplift and enlighten rather than merely entertain.

Community and Cultural Impact

The impact of Wajid Ali's music extends beyond mere listening pleasure. It plays a significant role in community gatherings, festivals, and spiritual sessions, cementing its place as a cultural staple. The songs not only provide solace but also foster a sense of unity among listeners, echoing the communal spirit found in the work of artists like Indu Sonali, who similarly brings people together through her Bhojpuri hits. Wajid's devotional tracks are often played in temples and during religious processions, showcasing their importance in spiritual and cultural ceremonies.

Challenges and Triumphs

Despite the popularity, devotional music faces its own set of challenges. Modern musical tastes and the global influence of western music sometimes overshadow traditional and spiritual genres. However, Wajid Ali’s persistence and innovation have helped keep the genre vibrant and relevant. By continually adapting his style and embracing modern music production techniques, he ensures that devotional music not only survives but thrives in the competitive music industry.

Looking Forward

As we look to the future, the trajectory of devotional music appears promising, with artists like Wajid Ali at the helm. His commitment to the craft and his innovative approach suggest that the fusion of spirituality and music will continue to evolve, engaging audiences and enriching the South Asian musical tapestry.

Your Passport to Authentic Bengali Biryani: A Culinary Journey through Bengal

f you're a biryani lover and haven't yet indulged in the unique flavors of Bengali biryani, you're missing out on one of the most iconic and flavorful dishes that India’s culinary heritage has to offer. The authentic Bengali biryani is not just a meal; it’s an experience, combining subtle spices, fragrant rice, and tender meat to create a dish that’s rich in both flavor and history.

In today’s food world, where people are always on the lookout for authentic cuisine experiences, Bengali biryani stands out as a gem, blending the essence of tradition with a modern flair. Let’s explore what makes this dish a must-try and how it has become a trending sensation among food enthusiasts.

The Legacy of Bengali Biryani

The story of Bengali biryani is intertwined with the royal courts of Lucknow. When Nawab Wajid Ali Shah was exiled to Kolkata in the mid-19th century, he brought his royal chefs along, who introduced the concept of biryani to the Bengalis. Over time, the dish evolved, adapting to local tastes and ingredients, becoming the Kolkata-style biryani we know today—milder in spices and with the addition of potatoes, a signature feature that sets it apart from other biryanis.

What Makes Bengali Biryani Special?

The use of potatoes in biryani may surprise those unfamiliar with this variety, but it’s what makes the Bengali version truly special. The potatoes, which are boiled and then fried before being added to the biryani, soak up the spices and ghee, creating a delicious and distinctive taste. The meat, traditionally goat or chicken, is slow-cooked to tender perfection, and when combined with the fragrant long-grain rice, every bite offers a burst of flavorful indulgence.

Minimal yet flavorful spices like nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, and cloves create a balance that doesn’t overwhelm the senses, unlike the spicier variations seen in other parts of India. The use of ghee, saffron, and the subtle layering of flavors makes it a more delicate yet flavorful version of the dish.

Bengali Biryani: A Trending Favorite

Recently, Bengali cuisine and especially Kolkata-style biryani have been gaining immense popularity beyond regional borders. With more food influencers and chefs shining a spotlight on the dish, it has become a trending topic on social media and food blogs. The rise of home chefs, pop-up restaurants, and food delivery platforms featuring authentic Bengali dishes has brought the unique charm of Bengali biryani to the global table.

People are now searching for the best places to experience Bengali biryani, whether through dine-in experiences or biryanis delivered at home, leading to a spike in online searches and reviews. Instagram and TikTok are full of vibrant photos of plated Bengali biryani, with food bloggers sharing their experiences, recipes, and tips on recreating this iconic dish at home.

How to Enjoy Authentic Bengali Biryani

Find a Local Spot: Many Kolkata biryani outlets are popping up in cities across India and beyond. Look for one that emphasizes traditional preparation methods, ensuring an authentic experience.

Make It at Home: While it may seem daunting, with the right ingredients, you can recreate authentic Bengali biryani at home. Key ingredients include Basmati rice, ghee, whole spices (like cardamom and cinnamon), and the essential potatoes. Slow cooking is key to achieving that perfect flavor profile.

Pair It with the Right Sides: Bengali biryani pairs beautifully with a refreshing raita, a squeeze of lime, and some traditional accompaniments like chutneys or Bengali salad (sliced onions, green chilies, and cucumber).

Conclusion: Take a Bite into Tradition

Your passport to authentic Bengali biryani is just a bite away. Whether you’re ordering from your favorite BongBiryani outlet or trying your hand at cooking it yourself, the rich history and vibrant flavors of this dish are sure to transport you to the heart of Bengal. As the world continues to explore and appreciate diverse culinary traditions, Bengali biryani is certainly a dish worth savoring.

His music has been included in numerous playlists, garnering millions of streams and views. YouTube, in particular, has been instrumental in showcasing his talent. His visually stunning music videos, often depicting themes of faith and spirituality, have amassed millions of monthly views.

On TikTok, Wajid has successfully engaged younger audiences by sharing short clips of his performances and behind-the-scenes moments. This strategy has introduced devotional music to a demographic that might otherwise overlook it, ensuring the genre’s continuity and relevance.

Engaging with the Global Audience

Wajid Ali’s appeal is not confined to South Asia. His music has found a global audience, resonating with people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. The universal themes of love, faith, and spirituality in his songs have made him a favorite among listeners seeking a deeper connection through music.

His collaborations with international artists and participation in global music events have further cemented his position as a cultural ambassador for South Asian devotional music. Through his work, Wajid Ali has shown that music, especially one rooted in spirituality, knows no boundaries.

Challenges and Triumphs

Despite his success, Wajid Ali has faced challenges along the way. Breaking into the mainstream music industry as a devotional artist required resilience and creativity. He had to navigate the complexities of a competitive market while staying true to his artistic vision.

Wajid’s triumph lies in his ability to turn these challenges into opportunities. By embracing digital platforms and adapting to changing audience preferences, he has not only sustained his career but also elevated devotional music to new heights.

India's struggle for independence was marked by the remarkable courage and resilience of many individuals.

These women were not only warriors in the literal sense but also leaders, thinkers, and social reformers who challenged societal norms and ignited the flames of liberation. In this article, we delve deep into the lives and contributions of some of the most influential women freedom fighters of India whose sacrifices and determination paved the way for the nation's freedom.

1. Rani Lakshmibai: The Warrior Queen of Jhansi

Rani Lakshmibai, also known as the Queen of Jhansi, is perhaps the most iconic figure among India's women freedom fighters. Born in 1828, she became the queen of Jhansi at a young age and quickly emerged as a symbol of resistance against British rule. Her defiance against the Doctrine of Lapse, which threatened to annex her kingdom, sparked the first war of Indian independence in 1857.

With unmatched bravery, Rani Lakshmibai led her troops into battle, wielding a sword and riding into the fray herself. Her leadership and military acumen made her a formidable opponent to the British forces. Even in the face of overwhelming odds, she continued to fight until her last breath, becoming a martyr and an eternal symbol of Indian resistance. Her legacy continues to inspire generations of Indians, especially women, to fight for their rights and dignity.

Born in 1879, Naidu was a brilliant student and a gifted poet who used her eloquence and literary prowess to inspire and mobilize people against British rule.

Naidu was an active participant in the Indian National Congress and was the first woman to serve as its president in 1925. She was also one of the prominent leaders during the Civil Disobedience Movement and the Quit India Movement. Her arrest and imprisonment by the British did not deter her spirit; rather, it strengthened her resolve to fight for India's independence.

As a leader, Sarojini Naidu championed the causes of women's rights, education, and social reform. Her speeches and writings remain a testament to her enduring influence on India's freedom movement and her unwavering commitment to the cause of independence.

After the British annexed Awadh and exiled her husband, Begum Hazrat Mahal took up the mantle of leadership and led the resistance against the British forces.

She was a brilliant strategist and a fearless fighter, rallying the people of Awadh to stand against British rule.

Aruna Asaf Ali's most significant contribution came when she hoisted the Indian National Congress flag at the Gowalia Tank Maidan in Mumbai during the Quit India Movement, defying British orders.

Her actions galvanized the nation and made her a symbol of the resistance against colonial rule. Despite being arrested and enduring harsh treatment in jail, Aruna Asaf Ali remained undeterred in her commitment to India's independence.
