Kuldhara

 

Kuldhara story is one of the most abnormal and moving stories. Around 15 Km. west of Jaisalmer a city in western Rajasthan lies the vestiges of a town which was called Kuldhara. The main sight of Kuldhara town, more a town really, sends one creative energy rushing to the time it may have been occupied. An overall arranged settlement; the straight and wide avenues ran in lattices with houses opening into them. All configuration components remembered both style and utility. A sort of a carport opened into the boulevards to stop trucks in. Sanctuaries, step wells and different structures were all indications of sound advancement through the hundreds of years. Kuldhara was the name of the biggest town in this group comprising of 84 towns. The town was secured in 1291 by the Paliwal Brahmins and was a noticeably prosperous group because of their capability to develop guard trims in the somewhat parched desert.

 

Paliwal bhramins were an extremely prosperous tribe and were known for their business sharpness and horticultural information. Anyway one night in 1825 all the individuals in Kuldhara and adjacent 83 towns vanished in dull. Why did the villagers choose to leave their settlement in the wake of having existed there for more that 7 centuries. Nobody knows where they went yet it is accepted that they settled close Jodhpur an alternate city in western Rajasthan. In spite of the fact that no one knows precisely how they did it, everyone in the majority of the 84 towns totally vanished that very night. No one saw them forget or figured where they went – they just vanished. It is accepted that they cast a condemnation over the town as they withdrew that would bring passing to any individual who attempted to occupy the area. It is likely that this is the motivation behind why such a large amount of the old town still remains . The disintegrating block structures compass out towards all headings and a spooky hush is all that lives on there. There are still some twofold storeyed houses that are in place and the awestruck vacationer can well picture how life went ahead in Kuldhara, a really long time back.
