3) Hari Niwas Palace of Kashmir

Kashmir’s Hari Niwas Palace which is now serves as an official guest house for bureaucrats has been considered as jinxed.  The palace was built by the last Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, Hari Singh in the early 20th century.

As the area where the palace was built, supposed to be the home of Hindu goddess Shiksha Devi. But, Maharaja did not pay any attention to the continuous warnings.
