Feroz Shah Kotla - Haunted by djinns #BlogchatterA2Z

 What if I tell you that there is a place in India where people go and write letters with their wishes in them ; leave the letters there and let the supernatural take care of them and their wishes...

Well , this is true in the Feroz Shah Kotla Fort , one of the oldest structures in Delhi which is said to be haunted .

It was built by the Mughal ruler , Feroz Shah Tughlaq in 1354 . The Mughals built it when they shifted their capital from Tughlakabad to Firozad due to a shortage of water in that region . The fort was believed to solve water crisis as it was built along the Yamuna river. 

Madrasas , palaces , gardens and mosques were all built inside the fort which are the symbol of the reign of the third ruler of the Tughlakabad dynasty . 

The people who believe in Islam , say that angels were made of light , humans of clay and smokeless fire created djinns . 

The fort is believed to be a home to djinns and the believers visit the fort to seek blessings and find solutions to their problems . Some exorcisms are also performed here for those who are believed to be cursed by the evil spirits . 

The local people are also seen offering milk to the djinns in the fort in order to get their wishes fulfilled . But the visitors must remember that the djinns are not angels and they can be bad as well . The djinns can even get married and have a family but they are formless . 

They supposedly target young women who are seen drying their hair on rooftops . People who have visited the fort also claim that they have felt invisible slaps , heard screams from graves. The mentally disturbed people also go to this fort for solace . 

So would you like a visit here ?
