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.

The Essence of Bengal on a Plate
Bengal, a region steeped in rich cultural traditions and history, is also known for its diverse and mouthwatering cuisine. From its sweets like rasgullas and sandesh to its fiery mustard fish curries, Bengal's culinary heritage is a feast for the senses. However, among its treasures, Biryani stands tall as a dish that defines the essence of Bengal in every bite.
When one thinks of Biryani, images of Mughlai opulence or the spicy Hyderabadi variety might come to mind. But Bengali Biryani tells a story that is uniquely its own—a story of innovation, adaptation, and love for flavor. Its roots date back to the Nawabi era, when Wajid Ali Shah, the last Nawab of Awadh, was exiled to Kolkata (then Calcutta). With him, he brought his royal chefs, who adapted their traditional Awadhi recipes to the ingredients available locally. Over time, this adaptation evolved into what we now call Bengali Biryani, a perfect blend of Mughal grandeur and Bengali ingenuity.
What makes Bengali Biryani distinct? Unlike the spicy versions found in other parts of India, Bengali Biryani is celebrated for its subtlety. The star ingredients—Gobindobhog rice, tender meat, and the iconic boiled potatoes—create a dish that is as comforting as it is flavorful. Gobindobhog rice, a short-grain variety native to Bengal, brings a delicate aroma and texture to the dish. The inclusion of potatoes, a surprising twist introduced during colonial times, is now an irreplaceable feature. Legend has it that potatoes were once considered a luxurious addition, symbolizing wealth and status, and their presence in the biryani reflects this history.
The preparation of Bengali Biryani is nothing short of an art form. The rice is cooked to perfection, each grain separate yet infused with the rich flavors of saffron and ghee. The meat—traditionally goat or chicken—is marinated with a mix of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and a blend of spices, ensuring it is tender and flavorful. The potatoes, golden and soft, absorb the fragrant spices, adding a unique dimension to the dish. Layers of rice, meat, and potatoes are cooked slowly in a sealed pot, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
But the beauty of Bengali Biryani is not just in its ingredients or preparation—it lies in the emotions it evokes. It’s a dish that brings people together, a centerpiece for celebrations and festivals. Whether shared at a family gathering, served at a wedding, or enjoyed in a cozy corner of a local eatery, Bengali Biryani has a way of creating memories.
At BongBiryani, we aim to capture the very soul of this dish. Every serving of our biryani is a tribute to Bengal’s culinary heritage. We remain true to traditional recipes, using authentic ingredients and age-old techniques to recreate the flavors that make Bengali Biryani so special. Our mission is to take you on a journey to the heart of Bengal with every bite.
For those unfamiliar with Bengali cuisine, our biryani is the perfect introduction. It’s not just food—it’s an experience, a story, and a celebration of everything that makes Bengal unique. From the first whiff of its fragrant aroma to the last satisfying bite, Bengali Biryani captures the spirit of a region known for its warmth, hospitality, and love for food.
So, whether you're a lifelong fan of biryani or a curious foodie looking to explore new flavors, let BongBiryani introduce you to the magic of Bengal on a plate. Experience the harmony of spices, the richness of tradition, and the essence of Bengal with every mouthful.

Wajid Ali’s Influence on South Asian Devotional Music
In the vast and diverse musical landscape of South Asia, few artists have captured the essence of spirituality and devotion as Wajid Ali. His soulful compositions and poignant lyrics have struck a chord with listeners across cultures and age groups. Emerging as a leading figure in devotional music, Wajid Ali has not only preserved traditional South Asian musical elements but also infused them with contemporary styles, creating a genre that is both timeless and modern. This article explores the remarkable journey of Wajid Ali, his contributions to devotional music, and the factors behind his widespread appeal.
Early Life and Musical Roots
Wajid Ali’s foray into music was deeply influenced by his upbringing. Born into a family that valued tradition and spirituality, Wajid was introduced to devotional music at an early age. His exposure to classical South Asian music, coupled with an innate passion for creativity, laid the foundation for his career. He grew up listening to legends in the devotional music scene, drawing inspiration from their ability to evoke deep emotions through melody and lyrics.
Wajid’s early years were marked by rigorous training in classical music. This training not only honed his technical skills but also instilled in him a profound understanding of the spiritual and cultural significance of devotional music. His early performances in local gatherings and religious events gradually gained him recognition as a promising young talent.
Breaking Through: From Niche Artist to Devotional Icon
Wajid Ali’s journey to becoming a household name in South Asia was far from easy. The music industry often favors mainstream genres like pop, hip-hop, and Bollywood music, leaving devotional and spiritual music artists with limited platforms and audiences. However, Wajid’s persistence and unwavering belief in his craft propelled him forward.
His breakthrough came with the release of tracks like “Kabe Ki Ronak” and “Hale Dil Kisko Sunain,” which quickly gained traction among audiences seeking solace and spiritual upliftment. These songs stood out for their deep emotional resonance, intricate musical arrangements, and universal appeal. They were not just songs but heartfelt prayers and meditative experiences that transcended linguistic and cultural barriers.
The Cultural Significance of Wajid Ali’s Music
What sets Wajid Ali apart is his ability to connect deeply with his listeners through his music. His compositions often draw from centuries-old South Asian traditions, incorporating elements like Sufi poetry, qawwali, and bhajans. At the same time, he experiments with modern instruments and production techniques, making his music accessible to younger generations.
Wajid’s music serves as a bridge between tradition and modernity. For many, his songs are a reminder of cultural heritage, while for others, they offer a fresh perspective on spirituality. In an age dominated by fleeting trends and commercial hits, Wajid’s devotion-centric music provides a sense of permanence and meaning.
A Digital Phenomenon
The digital era has played a significant role in amplifying Wajid Ali’s reach. Platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and TikTok have allowed him to connect with millions of listeners worldwide. 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.
Conclusion
Wajid Ali rise as South Asia’s devotional music icon is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and authenticity. His journey from a young boy with a dream to a celebrated artist is inspiring for aspiring musicians and fans alike. By blending tradition with innovation, Wajid has created a unique space for himself in the music industry, ensuring that the rich legacy of South Asian devotional music continues to thrive.
As listeners, we are fortunate to witness the evolution of an artist who stays true to his roots while embracing the future. Wajid Ali’s music is more than entertainment; it is a spiritual experience that invites us to reflect, connect, and celebrate the essence of life.

Top Influential Women Freedom Fighters of India: Icons of Courage and Independence
India's struggle for independence was marked by the remarkable courage and resilience of many individuals. Among them, women freedom fighters played an indispensable role, standing shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts in the fight against British colonialism. 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.
2. Sarojini Naidu: The Nightingale of India
Sarojini Naidu, known as the Nightingale of India, was a multifaceted personality— a poet, orator, and politician— who played a pivotal role in India's freedom struggle. 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.
3. Kasturba Gandhi: The Pillar of Non-Violence
Kasturba Gandhi, the wife of Mahatma Gandhi, played a significant yet often understated role in India's freedom struggle. Born in 1869, Kasturba was a steadfast companion to her husband, actively participating in his campaigns for social justice and independence. She became deeply involved in the Satyagraha movements, advocating for non-violent resistance against British oppression.

She was an incredibly inspiring and influential figure in the history of India's struggle for independence. Begum Hazrat Mahal was the wife of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah, the ruler of Awadh (a region in present-day Uttar Pradesh, India).
During the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny, Begum Hazrat Mahal played a pivotal role in leading the resistance against British colonial rule. When the British dethroned Nawab Wajid Ali Shah and annexed Awadh, she took charge and became the queen regent.
Begum Hazrat Mahal actively organized and led a rebellion against the British forces. She rallied soldiers, rebel leaders, and the common people to fight for their rights and freedom. Her leadership and strategic skills were instrumental in the revolt's success in Awadh.
Under Begum Hazrat Mahal's guidance, the rebels captured Lucknow, the capital of Awadh, and established it as the center of their resistance. She formed alliances with other rebel leaders and sought support from neighboring princely states to strengthen their cause.
The British forces launched several attacks to suppress the rebellion, but Begum Hazrat Mahal's determination and resilience kept the resistance alive. She was a symbol of courage and defiance, inspiring countless men and women to join the fight against British oppression.
However, despite their valiant efforts, the rebellion was eventually quelled by the British. Begum Hazrat Mahal, along with her son, Prince Birjis Qadr, was forced to seek refuge in Nepal. She continued to advocate for the cause of Indian independence and worked towards gaining international support for the rebels.
Begum Hazrat Mahal's contribution to the struggle for independence cannot be overstated. Her leadership, bravery, and unwavering spirit in the face of adversity continue to inspire generations. She remains an iconic figure in India's history, symbolizing the indomitable spirit of women in the fight against colonialism.
I hope this gives you a glimpse into the remarkable life of Begum Hazrat Mahal.
