In 1156 AD, it was established by Maharawal Jaisal Singh, a Rajput king. The old state was possessed by the Bhati Rajputs most of the time. While it went under the rule of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, it soon established an alliance with British rulers to obtain more regional political rights.

The tradition of constructing these cenotaphs was discontinued in 1947. There is a small fee to enter. The gardens are mainly untended, but the beautiful chattris are quite interesting. Screaming peacocks will be practically the only sound you will hear. There are no facilities here: no toilets, no vendors, no food and no water, so plan accordingly.

Haunted Village Kuldhara
Kuldhara is around 20 km from the central city of Jaisalmer, and it takes around 40 minutes by car to reach here. It is located at a slight diversion from the Jaisalmer – Sam – Dhanana Road, which leads to the deserts. There are many signboards for guidance. In short, you can conveniently reach Kuldhara even if you are driving on your own. As you take the sandy path that leads to it, you will observe the limited occurrence of human existence. The vegetation is negligible – the timid straying herd of animals who have possibly feasted on the remaining bits.
As per history, Kuldhara was once upon a time a very prosperous and happy settlement of Paliwal Brahmins. But now it is a haunted and cursed village of Rajasthan. According to the local legends, Salim Singh, the powerful and corrupt prime minister of state, his evil eyes fell on the chief’s daughter and desired to marry her. He threatened the villagers that there would be heavy consequences if they did not obey his wish. He gave them a deadline. The villagers and the neighbouring 84 village’s chiefs met and decided to leave their homes, and they vanished in the dark of the night. Nobody knows where they went. Before leaving the village, villagers put the curse that no one will ever settle in their village from that day after.
