Khooni Darwaza, also known as Lal Darwaza, is one of the 13 surviving ancient gateways to Delhi. Located in New Delhi, this historic structure has a dark and storied past, with its name translating to ‘bloody gate’ due to the numerous brutal murders that have occurred there over the centuries. The gate’s grim history has led many to believe it is haunted. Visitors today can explore the site and immerse themselves in the layers of history and legend that surround this imposing and eerie landmark.
