rajasthan kuldhara village haunted story Why did people leave Kuldhara


Jaisalmer/Manmohan Seju: Palaces, forts and sand…these are all that comes to mind when we talk about Rajasthan. But in reality, you will get to hear many historical and amazing stories in Rajasthan. There is even a village here that became empty overnight. Local18 has brought this story for you today.

The whole village was empty 200 years ago
The story is of Kuldhara village, located 17 kilometers away from the Jaisalmer district headquarters in western Rajasthan. This village is known for its mysterious stories. It is said that one night 200 years ago, this entire village became empty. It is said that Kuldhara was under someone’s evil eye. This evil eye was not cast by a ghost, but by the Diwan of the state, Salam Singh. Diwan Salam Singh’s evil eye fell on a beautiful girl of the village. The Diwan was so crazy about that girl that he wanted to have her at any cost.

Kuldhara is known as a haunted village
Kuldhara has an ancient history and is also known as the ‘ghost village’ of Rajasthan. An old story about this village tells that in the 18th century, the residents of this village left their homes in the dark of the night. There were many reasons behind this mysterious incident, including water harvesting from other villages and economic pressure.

The whole village had become united to honor the girl
This fight between the Diwan and the villagers was now not only about the honour of a virgin girl but also about the self-respect of the village. A meeting of the Paliwal Brahmins was held at the village Chaupal and more than 5000 families decided to leave the state for their honour. After the village was emptied, Kuldhara changed its old character and got the status of a haunted village.

The Brahmins had cursed the village while evacuating it
It is said that the Brahmins had cursed this village while evacuating it. They had said that this village will never be settled and this is what happened. With time, the villages around Kuldhara were settled again. But Kuldhara could not be settled again. The unique revival of Kuldhara is a symbol of reality and an important part of the history of Indian culture. Today people come to see this village after hearing the stories.
