More about Kuldhara Village, Kuldhara and Historical Information
Named among the ghost villages of Rajasthan like Bhangar, Kuldhara village has a range of legends associated with it. Lying 17 kilometers west of Jaisalmer, Kuldhara has a powerful story behind its reputation.
It’s said that more than 300 years ago Kuldhara used to be a prosperous village. Until Salim Singh, the evil prime minister of the state fell in love with the daughter of the village head and decided to marry her. He made threats to the village unless his wish was granted.
Nevertheless, instead of submitting to the tyrant, the village head held a meeting with 85 villagers and decided to leave their ancestral homes and vanish. Before leaving, they put a curse on the village that nobody will be able to inhabit this place. And to this day, the village remains barren.
