Jaipur–Bhangarh–Abhaneri–Jaipur


This fort can be seen on the way from Jaipur to Alwar(Bhangarh), Rajasthan in India. It is said to be one of the most haunted places to be seen in India. According to historians, This fort was Cursed by a black magician that everybody who lived in this palace would die and after a few years, all members who lived in this fort died. People who lived near this fort hadn't built Roofs on their houses, it is said that whenever they built a roof the roof fell on them. People around this area don't go near this fort at night, They claim that they have seen the spirits of People who lived in this fort. Staying after night in this area has been Prohibited.


Ghosts or no ghosts, the fact remains that Bhangarh is a beautiful place and during Monsoons its beauty is intensified due to greenery all over. The stories that float around stating the reasons behind the ruins and destruction of the town are obviously legends and myths (About the Tantrik, the Princess, the curse….). But all these stories do add charm to the mystic and aura of this enchanting place. Sadly there are no professional guides to explain the real reason why the city and the 16th Century Fort were deserted like this. There is a pathway that leads to the fort and on both sides are the structures (possibly shops in a  Meea bazaar kind of setting). All the structures look well designed and very sturdily built of rocks but none of them have roofs and the ruins seem to have a sort of symmetry in it. All the structures in the Fort Complex are roofless (except the temples) making it an enigma. There is no one there to tell you in detail about the rooms and structures in the fort.  The Banyan trees around the area add a sort of eeriness to the overall setting of the Fort Complex. If you are going to Alwar or Sariska, do include this in your program to add more color to your holidays.
