A popular tourist spot in Delhi, this shrine is visited by those who wish to pay their respects to the Sufi Gods. And then, in between the musical environment of qawwali, there are shrieks heard coming from a particular room.
This temple follows plenty of rituals during an exorcism. You will see people pouring boiling hot water on themselves to make ghosts away, there being showered with stones and chained to walls – sights that will terrify you for always. The tantric would ask for the offerings of 3 laddoos for the Gods, want their procedure to be followed without any questions asked and when done, for you to leave the temple without turning back. They are so serious about this that the person is not even allowed to eat before they leave the town, for the superstition that then the spirit may return.

Ever new moon and full moon, in this temple in Madhya Pradesh’s Betul district, people gather immensely for cleansing their spirits. At first, you would see the utter silence, but after that begins the horrifying screams. The Mahamangal Aarti at 11.30am is what triggers them to scream and abuse the Gods, something that is believed to be the doing of the evil spirits. The ‘possessed’ people are seen doing as abnormal things as climbing up on poles and suspending themselves.
Pay Rs 800 per month, get a room booked and remove the evil spirit possessing your loved ones – yes, that is the system here. Once you begin walking towards this place, you will be able to hear the people ‘possessed’ screaming at the top of their lungs, the violent ones are even chained to a wall. The Maulvis do not discriminate religiously, they remove the evil spirits from people of all religions.
‘Bhoot Mela’, or a Ghost Fair, takes place every full moon where people from near and far come to get their relatives cured of the possession of the spirit. You will see sights like people running around and being brushed off with holy brooms to remove the ghosts from within, and camphor is rubbed on the palms or wrists to see and eradicate the evil spirits.
