Forts of Rajasthan – Experience Royal Heritage with Rajasthan Travels

The story of a Mehrangarh & it’s curse 👻⚠️ : An ambitious king and the dreadful curse 👇🏻 👉🏻Long time ago, an ambitious king named Rao Jodha came across a majestic hill in Jodhpur and decided to carve a majestic fort out of it. 👉🏻With a determined mind, he sent out orders to his men to execute his will by first removing the people dwelling on the hill, and then build the foundation of his dream fort. 👉🏻Everyone abided by the royal will barring an old man, nay a saint, who was known as Chidiyawale Baba, for he took delight in feeding and tending to birds. Majorly upset by the king’s mandates, the saintly man cursed the monarch that his kingdom would be inflicted by repeated droughts should he erect the palace of his dreams on the hill. ⚠️Shocked and afraid on hearing the terrible curse, the king surrendered himself at the feet of Chidiyawale Baba and sought forgiveness. 🫡Unable to take his words back, the saint presented the one and only solution to neutralise the curse – someone from the kingdom has to lay down his life by willfully getting buried alive. When the king failed to find a saviour amongst his subjects, a noble-minded man named Rajaram Meghwal came forward to sacrifice his life. And thus, Rajaram Meghwal was buried alive on an auspicious day and at an auspicious spot so that the foundation for the Mehrangarh Fort could be laid down. The year was 1459.
