The  haunted Story behind the picture starts under the Sun on the bike. After the horrible viva(Major Project on Open Source Software in India) we had. We were on the way while I told him to visit some place to forget the Poor Viva Performance in college and thus we reached this place.

It was a massive ruined building built with red stone. On Ground floor there was a temple without any door, although it has proper structure to fit the door has no door in it. Anyways nearby there are many rooms I let the temple to explore it. I got in one of room, this has opening to another room and that was darker. As I entered a guy appeared in front of me and shouted in Hindi “Get out from here.., go upside from stairs behind…. this isn’t your area”. The dark room and shouting guy really frightened me at the time. Somehow I hide my fear from my friend and moved outside.
I was feeling something weird about the place and people out here, Anyways at least we found right way to go to first floor, And the first thing I noticed here is an incomplete staircase.
There are well structured walls and beautiful crafted pillars/columns to support the roof, But it has no any Roof. Again there are many rooms connecting each other, And One more thing I found repeating was ‘No Doors at All‘.
No Roof only Pillers 
Now one thing was clear to me, the building was not ruined by time, it was left incomplete intentionally.
I found a person smoking there asked him,
‘Are you localite’ ?
He replied rudely: ‘why are you asking’
I got my answer through his attitude (a Big YES) and fired next question
Do you know who built it ?? and why its incomplete ???
He replied: “This was a dream of Holkar Empire to have this building here.Maharajah Holkar, the ruler of Indore started it But he could not get it completed.”
Rooms without any Door 
King tried to construct the building many-times but every-time something destructive happened and it could not get completed, so he left it as is, till first floor. He even brought a door fixer and mason from England, but they also failed. A mysterious gale would blow and sweep the doors away. The Maharajah then abandoned the mansion. Since then this building is lying forlorn and barren.
It is also being told that on the dark night of the moon some eerie things happen here.
We were nearly outside while this question answered by him in detail, I was also feeling little relaxed getting out of here and asked him the final question
He was the King of this City, he would have been Powerful, why he couldn’t get it completed ????
and I got a ‘less scientific and more philosophical’ answer…
Some Powers are bigger than anyone, everyone is same for them whether it is King or Beggar.
These Powers may help you sometime, that time you call it DIVINE; and it may stop you doing something, and you call it EERIE.

Mandu City

Mandavgarh is situated at a distance of about 90 km from the Indore city of Madhya Pradesh. Popularly known as Mandu, the town is located amidst the Vindhya Ranges, at an elevation of 2000 feet above the sea level. It was originally founded in the 10th century by the Parmar rulers who made it their fort capital. Later, it was conquered by the Delhi Sultans, who named it as Shadiabad, meaning the "City of Joy". There are a  haunted host of historical monuments here which are constructed on the fusion of Hindu and Afghan style of architecture.
Mandavgarh is famous for its amazing Fort. The fort is 82 km in perimeter and is considered to be the biggest in India. It contains the ruins of palaces, ornamented canals, baths, pavilions etc. The fort was once the monsoons retreat of the Mughal emperors. Mandu has over 40 monuments which are divided into three broad categories: the Central Village Group, the Royal Enclave Group, and the Rewa Kund Group. The city is also famous for the legendary romantic tale of Rani Roopmati and Baz Bahadur which still haunts the place.

Champa Baoli - a well, the huge 15th-century Jami Masjid, the beautiful Jahaz Mahal (ship palace), Hindola Mahal or Swing Palace, the romantic Baz Bahadur's Palace, Roopmati's Pavilion and Hoshang Shah's Tomb are some of the unique gems of architecture and must see tourist spots of Mandu. It is believed that Emperor Shah Jahan took the inspiration of building Taj Mahal from the tomb of Hoshang Shah only. Mandu is an ideal place to be visited in the monsoons, when the weather is pleasant and surroundings blooming.

The mystical beauty of the monuments, amidst the sprawling lush green landscape and the purple sunset sky, paints the live picture of the bygone era. The effect is completed by the rich surroundings of mango, tamarind and banyan trees. The place is also famous for its 'Khusrani Imli', tamarind trees which bear fruit only in the rainy season and juicy custard apples. Mandu can be reached via taxis, available from Indore. You can buy beautiful Chanderi and Rewa [Maheshwari] saris here, as well as some medicinal herbs and local handicraft.

  2. Nilkanth Mahal gets its name from being in the region of the Nilkanth Shrine. The sanctum is devoted to Lord Shiva.
