00:00Gwalior is a mountainous area in Harishankarpuram, Guwahati.
00:16On that mountain, there is a lot of grass, thorns and bushes.
00:19And there is a narrow path leading to a ruins.
00:22This ruins used to be a huge mansion of a man who belonged to a family who didn't need any recognition.
00:30Today, it is a part of the national heritage.
00:33We are talking about the Sindhiya royal family of Gwalior.
00:36The member of this family who is lost somewhere in history.
00:39His name is Bhaiyasaheb Balwantrao Sindhiya.
00:43Balwantrao Sindhiya's mansion was built in the era of Sindhiya Estate on the Harishankarpuram mountain of Gwalior.
00:49Which was built by Balwantrao Sindhiya himself.
00:51Who used to be a skilled architect in his time.
00:54Bhaiyasaheb Balwantrao Sindhiya was born in 1885.
00:58Senior journalist Dev Shrimali says that,
01:01Bhaiyasaheb Balwantrao Sindhiya was a member of the Sindhiya family.
01:04This can be found in the famous history researcher Nilesh Eswar Chand's book on the Sindhiya royal family.
01:11Dev Shrimali said that,
01:13It is mentioned in the history of the Sindhi royal family that,
01:16Balwantrao Sindhiya was the natural son of Gwalior's Alijah Bahadur H.H. Shrimant Jiyaji Rao Saheb Sindhiya Maharaj.
01:24Although he was never interested in royal studies.
01:27That's why he stayed away from royal studies.
01:29Balwantrao Sindhiya was from the Sindhiya family.
01:32This is proven.
01:34Now, all things are said about him.
01:38Earlier, it was said that he was the son of a dancer who was like the wife of the king.
01:45But later, in the book written by Tawarikhe Sindhe,
01:51it was said that he was the son of a Jew.
01:55And he was not the son of a Tawarikhe.
01:58In fact, he was related to his family.
02:00But he was the son of Jivaji Rao Sindhiya.
02:07He was the greatest architect of that time.
02:10He was a spiritual person.
02:12He did not have much interest in royal work.
02:15That's why he stayed away from it.
02:17He has built all the good buildings in Gwalior.
02:21In which there is Victoria Market, Gorkhi Fort.
02:24He had designed Balwantrao's own mansion.
02:28His architect's office is here on Jhansi Road.
02:32It is still there.
02:34It remains closed.
02:35But he spent his last days in spirituality.
02:38In his mansion.
02:40He belonged to the Sindhiya family.
02:43But he is an unknown person of the Sindhiya family.
02:47Whose Sindhiya dynasty is rarely mentioned anywhere in history.
02:52Today, Balwantrao's mansion is lying deserted on Harishankarpuram hill.
02:57It is ruined.
02:58People have even declared it a haunted house.
03:01The reason is that this mansion was built in a dense forest at that time.
03:05Today, even if there is dense population around that area.
03:08But four decades ago, there used to be a dense forest here.
03:11And due to lack of maintenance, it became a ruin.
03:14Now, criminal people have started coming here.
03:17Senior journalist Dev Shrimali says that.
03:20Anyway, there are many secrets hidden in the fort buildings built in the royal era.
03:25With this, it began to be called haunted.
03:28Many people claimed that they have seen a ghost in this deserted mansion.
03:32Such rumors started flying and people stopped going there.
03:36It is said that Balwantrao also spent his last days in this mansion.
03:40This is absolutely true.
03:42Because if a place lives for a long time.
03:45Then it is located in a dense forest.
03:48Today, it is in the middle of the population.
03:50But 30-40 years ago, it was located on the top of a dense forest hill.
03:54So, where criminal people used to get shelter.
03:58So, due to that reason too.
04:00And then it remains empty for a long time.
04:02Secrets in the fort buildings.
04:04So, it used to be said that this is haunted.
04:07There are ghosts in it.
04:09Or people have seen.
04:11All such rumors used to fly.
04:13But in the end, Balwantrao spent his last days with his penance.
04:19This is what people believe.
