India,
the country of ancient civilization. India has always been prominent for
fascinating and mysterious history, myths, notorious kings and their battles
and superstition. India has remarkable history about unexplainable things and
haunted places. One of the most famous place in this list is the Ghost Town –
Bhangarh.
Bhangarh
is situated in Alwar district of state Rajasthan. The history of this town is
quite interesting. It has huge palace, mosques and grand temples. The Bhangarh
fort is built by the King Man Singh in 17th century. It was joyous
and glorious kingdom once. Now there is nothing left there. The Great empire of
17th century has become the deserted and spooky place.
The
place is popular for the supernatural incidents and paranormal beings present
there. There are various incidents associated with the deserted town and cursed
fort. The government of India has
restricted this place and no one is allowed to enter that area before sunrise
and after sunset. The Archaeological
Survey of India has put up a notice board at the entrance about no one is
allowed to remain in the precincts of the fort at night.
There
are different folklore and stories about the haunting Palace. But there are two
most popular stories reflect the doom of the fort. The first one is, there was
a monk named baba Balak Nath who lived there. Madho Singh was the ruler of
Bhangarh at that time. He demanded a condition that no houses must be taller
than his house and if the shadow of anything included fort fell in his house,
that day would be the fall of the kingdom. According to some locals, Madho
Singh had made some changes in his fort and due to that the reflection of his
fort had fell on monk’s house. His curse was fulfilled and as he said
eventually all kingdom was demolished. No structure is managed to survive the
curse except the tomb of Balak Nath.
The
another popular folk tale behind the fell of Bhangarh is, this tale about the
magician and Ratnavati, the princess of Bhangarh. One day when the princess
went on shopping with her friends in local market of Bhangarh, the wicked
magician saw the princess Ratnavati and fell in love with her beauty. The
princess was busy buying the scent on one of the shop. The magician conspired against
the princess to marry her and spell the scent with magic, so he would get the
princess. To satisfy his crave he offered her the spelled scent, which she
found skeptical and threw it on the stone rock nearby. Due to that, rock rolling
down towards him and crushed him. before his last breath came out he cursed the
kingdom that, no human would ever be live here and Bhangarh would be destroyed.
In the war with Mughals all the people including princess were killed. From
that day people believe that whole area is cursed and haunted and no one
crosses the boundary after the dusk and before sunrise.
There
are several others stories associated with this place. Whoever tries to enter
this place in night, never come back. People claimed to hear weird echoes and see
the spirit of magician wandering in night, Group of people had seen someone
sited on one of the places which was totally isolated and there was no way out
there. People had felt death experiences there. Still no one knows what exactly
about that place is.
I
don’t know all these tales, stories and beliefs are true or just superstition.
But if the word “haunted” excites you then you must visit this place. There is
no scientific proof about this place and creepy sightings yet. May be all these
things are fiction, only creation of human mind but still it’s a secret
dwelling in darkness.
