  • Kuldhara Village Overview

    Kuldhara is a village in Jaisalmer which is known as the ‘village of ghosts’, seeing the abandoned village it seems that people have left the place at once due to some very big danger, they were unable to face. To the east of the village lies the hot and thirsty river bed of Kakni which is a warning to the impossibility of sustenance of life in this place. At present the village Kuldhara is heritage site and is maintained by Archeological Survey of India (ASI). People visiting the village tell many stories about the abandons and ruins of the village but they all are superstitious. Some officials of Archeological Survey believe that it was a rich and prosperous village in twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth century. Tax officers and other officials of King Jaisal Bhatti resided in the village Kuldhara. Invaders of Afghanistan and other enemies attacked the village and ruined the belongings of the villagers. However the place does not have any supernatural fact behind its myth but a veil of sadness rends the air narrating the unfortunate past of its natives who were forced to leave their ancestral place under the cover of darkness.
