Bhangarh Fort was used by the royals of India in the 17th century but now is considered as one of the haunted places in the world. Even the Archaeological Survey of India has forbidden locals and other people to enter the fort at night!

It is said that King Ravana truly loved his chief wife, Mondadari! Very few people know that she is believed to be Rajasthani and her home town was ancient city of Mandore.

The word ‘Rajasthan,’ when divided into half, the literal meaning comes as Land of Kings (Raj – Kings, Sthan – Place/Land). The Land of Kings is synonymous with royalty, heroism, and honor.

Located about 18 km from the city of Jaisalmer, a village named Kuldhara has an enigmatic story. It is believed that the town was abandoned by its villagers in the 1800s. It was like the entire town vanished in the course of a single night. Even to this date, no one knows where all of them went.
