| Himachal PradeshDada Siba Palace
Palace of Dada Siba is situated on the top of a hill overlooking the Beas river. The palace is famous for its murals. There is a story behind the roof of the palace. While raising the walls of the palace it is said to have collapsed repeatedly. A learned Brahmin attached to the court declared that the wall would stand only if the king sacrificed someone dear to him. On hearing this, the king buried the same Brahmin alive near the foundation. He cursed the king and said that the palace would never have a roof. The palace still remains open and is now in ruins.
