The Curse of Kuldhara.
Kuldhara is an abandoned village in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, India. Established around the 13th century, it was once a prosperous village inhabited by Paliwal Brahmins.
According to the legend, the evil eyes of Salim Singh, the powerful and debauched prime minister of the state, fell on the daughter of the village head and he desired to marry her by force. He threatened the village with grave consequences if they did not adhere to his wish. Instead of submitting to the order of the tyrant, the Paliwals held a council and people of 85 villages left their ancestral homes and vanished. But this was not all; before leaving, they put a curse on Kuldhara that no one will ever be able to settle in their village thereafter. To this date, the village remains barren; left almost the same as its inhabitants had left it centuries ago. It is also said that people who have tried to stay there at night have been chased away by strange paranormal phenomenon.
Ever since its abandonment, the village has remained uninhabited. Many believe that this is the result of the curse still being in effect. Visitors to the village often report feeling uneasy and experiencing strange occurrences, such as ghostly sightings and unexplained noises. A sense of unease hangs over the village, resulting in some fleeing the area without exploring further.
Some even claim that the villageтАЩs crumbling streets are haunted by the lingering spirits of the villagers who were forced to abandon it.
