I had a curiosity to visit this Malcha Mahel, at the surroundings of  Malcha Marg,Chanakyapuri, New Delhi far a long time the Shikargah of 14^th century of Tuglaq era and the part of the royal state of Nawab of Owadh since the time of  weak Mughal’s rule. I visited today the 13 February,2019, this palace which is situated in the dense forest where wild life also exist. Precious carpets of beautiful designs,  covered with lots of dust are still lying there, TAKHAT, and broken furniture were also lying there. Its a matter of search who had taken the other belongings of the prince Ali Raza as no one came to take his body inspite of ph.calls out of the ph. Numbers were found in the palace  .
