Kuldhara Village in Jaisalmer <\/strong>With old forts, castle ruins, deserted alleys, creepy homes, and abandoned spirits, ghost stories entice readers in a unique way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuldhara village<\/strong>, located 21 kilometres from Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, has a similar storey to tell. Kuldhara Village<\/strong> is currently a heritage site managed by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you reach the grounds of this ancient village, it feels as if time has stopped in Kuldhara <\/strong>for the past 200 years. Straight dusty roads with sporadic rows of mud houses, cul-de-sac lanes with sandstone walls, and a temple once visited by the Paliwals stand as living testimony of some tragic history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parched riverbed of Kakni, to the east of the village, serves as a sign of the impossibility of sustaining life in this location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A once-thriving village in North-Western India, with a history dating back to the 13th century, was abandoned in 1825 for unexplained reasons. You can see the ravages of time on the soil of Kuldhara Village in Jaisalmer<\/strong> as you walk through the ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the place does not have any supernatural fact behind its myth but a veil of sadness rends the air narrating the unfortunate past of its natives who were forced to leave their ancestral place under the cover of darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History Of Kuldhara Village –<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kuldhara village<\/strong> was founded in 1156 by Jaisel Bhati atop the Trikuta Hill in Jaisalmer in Rajasthan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of building a settlement in such a place was due to the reason that the original capital Lodarva <\/strong>was under the threat of attacks by the enemies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The place around the Trikuta Hill <\/strong>had a smooth trade route with Persia and Arabia in the Middle East by land and also through the ports of Gujarat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, they used to earn handsome revenues due to levied taxes from the caravans who used to travel from these places to Rajasthan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, the invaders travelled from Afghanistan and used this route to plunder the wealth from Gujarat and the Somnath Temple in particular, that was known for its assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For protecting themselves from the attacks of the invaders, the villagers abandoned Kuldhara Village in Jaisalmer<\/strong> and its adjacent villages as men, women and children were being held captive by the intruders and enslaved thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
