Bhangarh - considered to b
e one of the most haunted places of the world !
Ghosts or no ghosts, the fact remains that Bhangarh is a beautiful place and during Monsoons its beauty is intensified due to greenery all around. The stories that float around stating the reasons behind the ruins and destruction of the town are obviously legends and myths (About the Tantrik, the Princess, the curse….). But all these stories do add a charm to the mystic and aura of this enchanting place. Sadly there are no professional guides to explain the real reason why the city and the 16th Century Fort was deserted like this. There is a pathway that leads to the fort and on its both sides are the structures (possibly shops in a Meea bazaar kind of setting). All the structures looks well designed and very sturdily built of rocks but none of them have roofs and the ruins seems to have a sort of symmetry in it. All the structures in the Fort Complex are roof less (except the temples) making it an enigma of sorts. There is no one there to tell you in details about the rooms and structures in the fort . The Banyan trees in and around the area do add a sort of eeriness in the overall setting of the fort Complex. If you are going to Alwar or Sariska, do include this in your programme to add more colour to your holidays !
