The Curse of Kuldhara.

Kuldhara is an abandoned village in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, India. Established around the 13th century, it was once a prosperous village inhabited by Paliwal Brahmins.

According to the legend, the evil eyes of Salim Singh, the powerful and debauched prime minister of the state, fell on the daughter of the village head and he desired to marry her by force. He threatened the village with grave consequences if they did not adhere to his wish. Instead of submitting to the order of the tyrant, the Paliwals held a council and people of 85 villages left their ancestral homes and vanished. But this was not all; before leaving, they put a curse on Kuldhara that no one will ever be able to settle in their village thereafter. To this date, the village remains barren; left almost the same as its inhabitants had left it centuries ago. It is also said that people who have tried to stay there at night have been chased away by strange paranormal phenomenon.

Ever since its abandonment, the village has remained uninhabited. Many believe that this is the result of the curse still being in effect. Visitors to the village often report feeling uneasy and experiencing strange occurrences, such as ghostly sightings and unexplained noises. A sense of unease hangs over the village, resulting in some fleeing the area without exploring further.

Some even claim that the village’s crumbling streets are haunted by the lingering spirits of the villagers who were forced to abandon it.

Rajasthan Pravasi | क़ुलधारा गाँव का रहस्यमय इतिहास: भूतिया नहीं, एक अनोखा सत्य

[marvinjsm]

Kuldhara is an abandoned village in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, India. Established around the 13th century, it was once a prosperous village inhabited by Paliwal Brahmins. It was abandoned by the early 19th century for unknown reasons, possibly because of dwindling water supply, an earthquake, or as a local legend claims, because of the atrocities by the Jaisalmer State's minister Salim Singh. The local legend claims that while deserting the village, the Paliwals imposed a curse that no one would be able to re-occupy the village. Those who tried to re-populate the village experienced paranormal activities, and therefore, the village remains uninhabited. Gradually, the village acquired a reputation as a haunted village and started attracting tourists.The local residents around the area do not believe in the ghost stories but propagate them in order to attract tourists.

Offbeat of Rajasthan Tour

Rajasthan's third largest district, Barmer, is notable for its recently discovered oilfield. Camels laboriously traversing the arid environment and skilled craftsmen displaying their magnificent ceramics, textiles, handicrafts, and traditional dances and music enhance the cultural grandeur. Despite the bad weather and infertile terrain, the area's skilled artisans, rich cultural heritage, and dynamic atmosphere have drawn tourists from around the world!

Kumbhalgarh Fort is one of five Rajasthani hill forts named UNESCO world heritage sites in 2013. Kumbhalgarh Fort in Rajsamand, Rajasthan, is 82 kilometres from Udaipur. Though shorter than the Great Wall of China, its 38 kilometre wall is the second longest. Located at 1,914 m, this site is surrounded by thirteen Aravalli mountain summits. The majestic fortification lies in a wildlife-protected woodland. This Rajasthani Mewar fort is the second-largest and most important after Chittorgarh.

Kuldhara Village, 20 kilometres from Jaisalmer's Golden City, is a must-see tourist site. With many traditions and myths, the village is said to be haunted. Standing alone in the desert, the structure's forlorn and sombre beauty justifies its fame. As usual, no proof has been provided for reports of spectral and supernatural activity in and around the town. If you want mystery, visit it.

The Dungarpur mahals are known for their beautiful architecture and colourful stones. Badal Mahal, Ek Thambiya Mahal, and Juna Mahal should be visited.
