The story behind the haunted fort of the Peshwa rulers of Maharashtra is about the 13 year-old Narayan Rao,successor to the peshwa throne who was murdered here in 1773.
A clever manipulation resulted into a brutal assassination. The prince uncle’s message ‘Narayan Rao La Dharaa’, Catch Narayan Rao to the guards, was modified by his wife to ‘Narayan Rao La Maara’, Kill Narayan Rao.
As the boy was chased by his assassins, all across the fort, the boy cried, again and again “Kaka, Mala Vachva!” The cries for help are even heard on every new moon day at midnight.
It sounds scary and also questions on humanity. The place is still cursed and the voices could be heard clearly.
