Kuldhara Village

Kuldhara Village

An abandoned ghost town, Kuldhara village was once a prosperous town occupied by Paliwal Brahmins. The reason for why a whole city was abandoned within a night is not clear but the popular belief holds the then state minister Salim Singh responsible for the same. The minister wanted to marry the village chief's daughter and therefore delivered an ultimatum to the village chief to accept his demands or let the whole community face dire consequences.
