It's been a very long time since I wrote any blog. Well the reason is, I try to write about those legends which most of the people are not aware of. That's the reason I also include the legends of different countries but as we progress, the list is shortlisted.
Well this time I thought of writing about a legend of my own country. Moving to the west in the largest state in terms of area, Rajasthan. Well, whenever we hear about any legend and that also from Rajasthan then the first one which comes to our mind is Bhangarh Fort.
But this is not about The Bhangarh Fort, but this one is about an abandoned village Kuldhara. Situated at a distance of 18 kms from Jaisalmer, this village is said to be abandoned for more than 170 yrs.
So what's new in this? Many places and villages are there who had been abandoned. I agree to that but the difference between them and Kuldhara is that Kuldhara can never be civilized again.
The reason behind this, is a curse which was given to the village by it's own people. The story of Kuldhara is like this.
Kuldhara itself was an advanced village whose people have learned the techniques to have vegetation in the deserts. It is said that the people who established this village were called as Paliwals, and it was because of them that civilization began in the deserts of India.
However, the Paliwals were the ones who cursed this village. It is said by the locals that once the Diwan of Kuldhara fell in love with one of the girl of the village. He was so madly lost in love that he even gave a warning to the residents of the village that either they give him the girl or he will have her by force by the next full moon night and will kill anyone who comes in his path
A meeting was called and the Panchayat was stuck whether to save the girl or their village. At last they decided that they will leave their village along with that girl. Before leaving, the Paliwal's cursed their village that no one will ever be able to start civilization again in their village.
They all evacuated the village on the same night leaving the village with the curse with stands till today.
Today Kuldhara has become a tourist place but only during the day. At night nobody dares to enter this village. The tourist has also confirmed that during the daytime also they can hear the voices of people, and he noise of women's ornaments.
People have even tried to civilize this village but none of them were successful.The locals also say that some people who entered Kuldhara never returned back.
This place has also been visited by Paranormal Experts who claimed that they felt the presence of some energy around them while they were researching. When they were returning back, their car's window glasses were filled with hand prints of small children which was very strange phenomenon because there were no houses around there so there was no chance of any human's presence.
Voices have also been recorded at that place when the paranormal experts were trying to communicate with the spirits.
These are some photos of Kuldhara available on the internet
