To conserve Malcha Mahal, 14th-century lodge in Delhi forest set for a facelift

Hindustan Times  

In a bid to conserve Malcha Mahal and boost its tourism prospects, the Delhi government’s department of archaeology has started landscaping at the 14th-century monument which has been seeped in mystery for decades and was inhabited by members of a self-proclaimed royal family from the 1980s till 2017. Built as a hunting lodge in the 14th century during the rule of Firoz Shah Tughlaq, the ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, Malcha Mahal has remained seeped in mystery for the longest time. The archaeology department was granted permission from the forest and wildlife department earlier this month to fell 38 trees and prune another 150 in the monument complex inside the Central Ridge in Chanakyapuri. Built as a hunting lodge in the 14th century during the rule of Firoz Shah Tughlaq, the ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, Malcha Mahal has remained seeped in mystery for years.
