The Haunted City Of Rajasthan Bhangarh…Are u Brave Enough?


Bhangarh a place located between Jaipur and Alwar In the State Of Rajasthan.It is believed that the Bhangarh is Haunted and no one dares to go there after sunset.It is widely known for its ruins, but a visit to Bhangarh is always memorable as the place is quiet beautiful and tranquil.What remains now is a shadow of once a beautiful  kingdom.
The story of The infamous Fort.
The story dates back to 1573 when the fortress was build.It was built by Raja Bhagawat Das, the ruler of Amber, The fort was the residence of Madho Singh.
The ruler’s second son who fought alongside his father and brother in many of the wars they had.The decline of The Fort Started in 1630 after Chhatr Singh, son of Madhi Singh got killed  in some violent accident.The downfall continued until 1783 when the city and the Fort were completely abandoned after the famine that hit the city known as Bhangarh Myths.
It is believed that the city was cursed by the Great Guru BaluNath, which caused the towns evacuation. Guru Balu Nath appraised the establishment of the town but he said that the moment the shadow of your palaces touched him,the city will be no more. Ignoring such beliefs , a descendant raised the palace to such a height that it shadowed BaluNaths Beliefs.  And thus the town was devastated as prophesied. The small Samadhi where BaluNath was buried is still believed to be there. 

Many others also believe that the charm of the princess was said to be matchless in all of Rajasthan. Growing up she was the most adorable thing in the city.Bhangarh Ratnavati was growing up to a young gal and the age of 18 she started to get marriage proposals from all over the region.In the same part of the city there lived a tantric(magician) who had undying  love for the princess though he knew that he would never have the chance of even meeting her.He was so desperately in love that his frustrations took the best of him.In one of those occasions he seized an idea to hypnotize the Princess as one of the maids was going to the market to buy scented oil for the princess.He took the moment and casted evil magic on the oil which would make the princess fall head over heels for him just by touching the oil.But in this moment the young Princess saw through his plan and threw away the oil. Where the flagon rolled over a stone.As soon as the oil touched the stone, it started rolling towards the tantrik and the stone crushed him.In the last moments the tantric cursed the palace and the Princess  and all those who dwelt in it, taking away  their rights to rebirth in their destinies
.The following year there was a battle Between Bhangarh and AiaBarh and there the kingdom lost its Young Beautiful Princess and  the decline of the Kingdom.
