Malerkotla Fort
Malerkotla Fort, located in the historic princely city of Malerkotla, Punjab, is a 17th-century fortification associated with the Sherwani Afghan dynasty founded by Bayazid Khan in 1657. Once the proud seat of a princely state renowned for interfaith harmony, parts of the old fort and royal complex now lie in partial ruin. Local folklore surrounds the silent stone bastions with stories of phantom guards, nocturnal footsteps, and eerie whispers from its royal past.
