Kuldhara: The ghost village of
Jaisalmer
The
ghost village of Kuldhara is situated in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan,
India. According to folklore, Kuldhara was an ancient village of Paliwal
Brahmins who migrated from the Pali district of Rajasthan. They built 84
villages around Kuldhara but had to abandon the village overnight attributed to
various causes ranging from persecution by Salim Singh, a powerful minister of
Jaisalmer state, to drought, earthquake, etc. The village remained abandoned
since the early 19th century.
