"<span class="bbcode-b">The city of Bhangarh"</span><span class="bbcode-b">
HISTORY:
The city of Bhangarh was the residence of Raja bhagwant singh's son Madho singh in late 16 century and is known as the most haunted place in INDIA
Entry to Bhangarh is legally prohibited between sunset and sunrise. A signboard posted by ASI (Archaeological Survey of India), which is a Government of India organization.
PRESENT:
the ruins are situated between JAIPUR and DELHI...in the midst of the great RAJASTHAN.
Standing on the terrace of the Royal Palace one can view the vast expanse of the fort. It has four gates - Lahori Gate,Ajmeri gate, Phulbari Gate and Delhi Gate. It seems life has come to a standstill in this area.
LEGENDS ABOUT THIS PLACE:
the city of Bhangarh was cursed by the Guru Balu . He had sanctioned the construction of the town on one condition, "The moment the shadows of your palaces touch me, the city shall be no more!" When a descendant prince raised the palace to a height that cast a shadow on Balu Nath's forbidden retreat, he cursed the town. Balu Nath is said to be buried there to this day in a small samādhi.
Another myth is the legend of the Princess of Bhangarh, Ratnavati. She is believed to be the jewel of Rajasthan. On her eighteenth birthday she began to get offers of marriage from other regions (i.e. nobility). In the area lived a tantrik, a magician well versed in the occult, called Singhia, who was in love with the princess but knew that the match was impossible. One day Singhia saw the princess's maid in the market, he used his black magic on the oil she was purchasing so that upon touching it the princess would surrender herself to him. The princess, however, seeing the tantric enchanting the oil, foiled his plan by pouring it on the ground. As the oil struck the ground it turned into a boulder, that crushed Singhia. Dying, the tantrik cursed the palace with the death of all who dwelt in it.The next year there was a battle between Bhangarh and Ajabgarh in which Princess Ratnavati perished.
Legends says that there are ghosts in Bhangarh and that is why entry is prohibited for tourists in the fort after sunset and before sunrise.The locals believe that the princess Ratnavati has taken birth somewhere else and that the fort and the empire of Bhangarh is waiting for her return to put an end to the curse.
