The fort is known to be the most haunted place in India and was actually a thriving medieval city built for his son Man Singh I in the 17 century.

It is believed that more than 10,000 people were staying in Bhangarh before it was allegedly abandoned overnight.

It also shows horror that this grand edifice, which is 400 years old, and the city spread around it stand in ruins. The credit for their current condition goes back to the pathetic story of Bhangarh, which sealed its bad fate. Legend also shows that the land where the Bhangarh fort once stood was home to... An ascetic named Guru Balu Nath had a mission and hence Madhu Singh took care to obtain his due permission before building the fort and even granted it on one condition.

The ascetic set a condition that the shadow of the fort should not fall on his house, otherwise a great tragedy would occur, but unfortunately, the ambitious successor to Madhu Singh ignored the warnings that the Bhangarh fort was fortified with higher walls, and as a result, the shadow swept over the ascetic’s house, and in return, his curse swept through the entire area of ​​Bhangarh.

 

It also tells another story, which revolves around a different and more frightening story behind the torment of Bhangarh. According to folklore, there was a princess from Bhangarh called Ratnavati. She was allegedly a very beautiful woman who was hypnotized by her wonderful beauty. A necromancer in the area fell in love with her and in order to get her, he placed a black magic spell on her. The oil was supposed to be used by the princess for massage but before his dirty trick could succeed Princess Ratnavati got wind of his trick.

The princess threw the oil laden with magic on a huge rock in the vicinity and this was when it was an hourglass of Bhangarh Fort, and the entire town was put on a countdown and black magic worked in a way and made the rock crush Tantra until his death. However, before he could take his last breath, he cursed the entire town, so sad and despairing that it would slowly succumb to utter ruin just like him.

His frightening last words were also proven true the following year itself, when the ruler of Bhangarh was subjected to a disastrous defeat at the hands of the enemy, his army was completely annihilated, and all the residents of Bhangarh were brutally slaughtered, while the fate of the princess remains a mystery, as it is said that she was sentenced to wander in the regions of Bhangarh, stuck in oblivion. It is said that It could still be heard that all the residents of Bhangarh in Bhangarh Fort at night were doomed to stay in this area and not leave the cold and hopeless surroundings.

There may not be the word Haunted written in neon on the information boards at the site but the Asi (Archaeological Survey of India) urging you to leave the building before sunset clearly indicates something and the boards clearly say over and over that it is forbidden to remain within the outskirts of Bhangarh before sunrise. Sunset, as there were many accidents of loss and even deaths in the area, hence the precaution.

It seems that the gas in Bhangar never stops once you visit this scary place in Rajasthan. Every house located in the entire area is without a roof, and there is no house at all that has a complete roof on its head. The prevailing opinion is that the sage who cursed the city is responsible for this, and according to the opinion of the locals, it is impossible. Building a roof on these houses. As soon as the roof was built, it collapsed, which led to the death of many people in the past. This is another fact about the history of Bhangarh Fort.

It is strange that Bhangarh is the only tourist place in India where foreign tourists are not allowed to enter freely and they need to obtain a special permit to enter the building and Bhangarh Fort. It is not only the story of Bhangarh Fort but also the fact that among the tourists who got lost in the area there are a number A large number of foreigners angered government officials by ignoring the rules and made them take the drastic step.

The history of Bhangarh Fort is one of utter misery and anguish, which as locals claim translates into misfortune and horrific incidents.

Local residents tell the story of three reckless people in Bhangar who decided to stay in the castle buildings after sunset. Despite being equipped with a torch, one of the three men fell into a deep well. Fortunately, he was quickly rescued by his friends who rushed to the hospital to receive treatment.

The residents believe that the spirit of the princess still roams the castle and the reason is that she is trying to remove the curse that occurred because of her, so that she may be able to restore the glories of the castle and save the village and its remaining residents.

But is there a logical explanation for what is happening there?!

With the progress of time, development, thinking, and science, the curse became absurd, according to researchers who tried to come up with appropriate explanations.

Another explanation put forward by researchers says that some historical texts talk about a severe famine that struck the region during that period in the year 1783, causing the remaining population to migrate to other places in search of food and livelihoods.

But what prompted the government and a scientific organization such as the Indian Archaeological Survey to put up an exciting sign, based on what the villagers say. According to a government spokesman, the matter revolves around predatory animals in that area, given that it is located in a wild environment that is full of wild animals, including lions, hyenas, and reptiles. These animals are active at night and come. To spend the night in the castle, it was necessary to protect the lives of tourists by placing a sign.

As for the sounds of crying and screaming that locals hear and which tourists confirmed that they heard coming from the castle, the reason, according to the architects, is due to the fact that the castle is half demolished, without roofs, with many windows and gaps, and the winds are active at night, so the movement of the wind inside the castle is what causes these sounds.
