Kuldhara : The haunted village

Kuldhara is the second most haunted place in india as known by people. It lies in Rajasthan, The state which is famous for its tourism & haunted places.

As no. 1 haunted place in india, the bhangarh fort also lies in it. Although both, bhangarh & kuldhara are considered as the most haunted places in india, they are the tourist spots at day time & are shut down in the evening.

Kuldhara village was abandoned around 170 years ago. It is located in jaisalmer district. It was the village of paliwal brahmans. There is a story that deewan of that village used to take higher duties, taxes & used to trouble the people of the village. He fell in love with the daughter of the leader of the village, but the villagers didnt agree to deewan. In return he started torturing the villagers mentally & financially. As a result the whole village abandoned the village, giving it the curse that no one will ever be able to live in this place. No one knows where the whole village went, it's mystery till present.

The irony is that, no one, till now is able to start his/her living in this place, because of its curse. later on indian government declared it as the haunted place and it became the tourist spot eventually. Many people visit this place as a tourist destination. One should visit this place if they really are big fan of haunted places.
