Kuldhara: A rich but suddenly disappeared village

Kuldhara village, located about 18 km from Jaisalmer, used to be a beautiful and rich residence of Paliwal Brahmins. According to historians, the village was situated in the 13th century and a rich community of about 84 villages resided here. This village, which was in skilled water management, business prosperity and culture, was an integral part of the princely state of Jaisalmer.

Start of curse: Why did the village become empty in one night?

It is said that the biggest reason for the destruction of Kuldhara was the then Diwan Salim Singh of Jaisalmer. Salim Singh was eyeing the daughter of the village head, and he decided to forcibly get her. He threatened that if the girl is not found, he would disturb the entire village. In such a situation, the villagers took a tough decision-all the people of 84 villages left their homes in one night and disappeared somewhere, and cursed the village on the go that no one would be able to bus here.

Even today, this curse scares!

This curse is not just a story, but even today many people believe that no one can live here permanently. Whoever tries to settle, becomes a victim of some untoward or scary experience. Many local people and tourists claim that strange voices are heard here at night – as someone is going, the cry of women, or the mysterious movement from old haslis.

Scientific view vs. folk recognition

From a scientific point of view, many researchers believe that the village would have been empty here due to geological changes or lack of water. But this place is still considered cursed in local public beliefs. The guides, security personnel and nearby villagers also accept that everyone does not dare to spend the night in Kuldhara.

Mail of tourism and fear

Today Kuldhara has been developed by the Rajasthan Tourism Department as a heritage site. Thousands of tourists visit here a day, but as soon as the sun closes, this village again sinks into silence. Entry is not allowed after evening, and no one stays here at night.

Many documentary and TV shows like “Fear Files”, “India’s Most Haunted Places” Adi has also brought the secret of Kuldhara to the world. Some para-normal investigation teams tried to do research here, but they also faced many strange incidents.

Is the curse still active today?

This question is still unanswered today. Some consider it a story, some historical facts, and someone is afraid to accept it. But it is undisputed truth that Kuldhara village did not get back again even after 200 years. Is there really a shadow of a soul? Is the curse of Paliwal Brahmins still effective today? Or was it just the saga of a social rebellion, which was worn by fear?
