Feroz Shah Kotla Fort, the fort which was once used to be a three story building with priceless stones is now a left over ruin with the presence of djinns(Jinn) in it. Their exisctence is not proven by anyone but the locals believe in their presence in the fort and they worship them!!!! Yesss...they do!!!!
Specially on Thursdays, you can see hundreds of people in the fort worshiping these Djinns to get their blessings. According to my conversation with the security guard of this place, people actually come to this place to appease the holy spirits by sticking coins to the walls, offering milk, fruits and even food.
Directions - How to reach Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
This fort is situated near Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg between Old Delhi and New Delhi, but you don't have to get into that. Just remember the landmark...So the best landmark is Pragati Maidan Metro Station. The fort is just 10 minutes away from the station. Even if you are coming by your own vehicle stick to this landmark. If you are coming by bus, get down at Pragati Maidan and from there either you can walk or you can talk an auto-rikshaw, he will take Rs30 - Rs40. (Do not pay more than that :D)
Timings of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
This fort opens at sunrise and closes at sunset BUT it is difficult to define the sunrise, I know, you all would not be going there early in the morning but still for morning lovers..just don't be there with the first ray of sun...Take you time and reach the fort by 7.30am to 8.00am.
Ticket Price -
The good news, NO Ticket...Just be there after sunrise and before sunset and you are in. (On the Internet I have seen article which says there is a ticket of Rs 5 for Indians and rs100 for foreigners, But I personally went to this place last week and there was NO TICKET)
Photography Rules -
There are no rules, just get it there and start shooting. There is one thing, in most of the forts in India, they allow you to take pictures, make recording but the moment you want to shoot with your tripod...you would see the guards gazing at you like you have stolen their property. So don't use your tripod and you will be fine.
