To the west of Hyderabad (a city in Southern India) is the Golconda Fortress, which once served as the residence of the Kakatiya Raja family. The local ruler, Shah Abdullah, was married to a courtesan named Taramati.

Both were buried at the royal cemetery near the fortress after their deaths. It is said that in the evenings the spirit of Taramati arranges dances in the central hall of the former residence. And there are also poltergeist phenomena in the building – some shadows are moving, unexplained sounds are heard, objects are falling, pictures on the walls are turning over.
