The Bhangarh Fort

There are countless ghost stories in India, some passed down through generations, while others are more recent. One such story that is widely popular in India is the tale of the Bhangarh Fort, located in the state of Rajasthan.

The Bhangarh Fort was built in the 17th century by King Madho Singh, who was the younger brother of Emperor Akbar's general, Man Singh. The fort is situated at the foot of the Aravalli Mountains and is surrounded by dense forests. According to legend, the fort was cursed by a sorcerer named Singhia, who was in love with the princess of the fort, Ratnavati.

Singhia was a powerful sorcerer who had the ability to cast spells and curses. He fell in love with Ratnavati, who was known for her beauty and charm. However, Ratnavati was not interested in Singhia and rejected his advances. Enraged by her rejection, Singhia cast a spell on a cosmetic that Ratnavati was supposed to use. The spell would make Ratnavati fall in love with him.

However, Ratnavati came to know about the spell and threw the cosmetic away. The spell hit a boulder and rolled down the hill towards Singhia, killing him in the process. Before he died, Singhia cursed the fort, saying that no one would be able to live in the fort, and it would be abandoned forever.

According to the legend, the curse of Singhia came true. The fort was abandoned and became a ghost town. It is said that the ghosts of the people who once lived there still haunt the fort.

The locals believe that entering the fort after sunset is a dangerous affair. They say that the fort is home to many ghosts, and the spirits of the people who once lived there roam around, seeking revenge for their untimely death. The fort is now a tourist spot, and many people come to see the ruins of the once-majestic fort.

There are many tales of people who have visited the fort and had supernatural experiences. One such story is that of a group of tourists who visited the fort late at night. They decided to explore the fort despite the warnings of the locals. As they walked through the ruins, they heard strange noises and felt a cold breeze, even though it was a warm night. Suddenly, they saw a shadowy figure moving towards them. The tourists ran for their lives and never returned to the fort again.

Another story is that of a man who visited the fort alone. He had heard about the supernatural occurrences at the fort but did not believe in ghosts. As he walked through the ruins, he felt a strange presence around him. Suddenly, he felt a cold hand on his shoulder. He turned around but saw no one. He felt the hand again and ran out of the fort, never to return again.

Many people believe that the curse of Singhia is still in effect and that the fort will remain haunted forever. The fort has been declared a protected monument by the Indian government, and visitors are allowed to enter the fort during daylight hours only. The locals believe that the spirits of the people who once lived there rest during the day and become active at night.

In conclusion, the legend of the Bhangarh Fort is one of the most popular ghost stories in India. The tale of the curse of Singhia and the haunting of the fort has been passed down through generations. While there is no scientific proof of the existence of ghosts, the people of India believe in the supernatural, and the Bhangarh Fort is considered one of the most haunted places in the country.
