Remember The Village That Was Cursed or the watchman and The Ghosts of Kuldhara? I had said then that I will be back with the whole story. Kuldhara, as I had mentioned before is a not often spoken about yet extremely intriguing example of human migration.
The story has various versions but the crux of all those versions are that the local king who was infamous womanizer took a liking for a girl in this village. He insisted on marrying the girl the next day. To avoid any further humiliation the villagers just upped and left the village with whatever belongings they could carry with themselves.
It is also believed that before leaving the villagers (Paliwal Brahmins) put a curse on this village -- anyone who would try and settle down in this village will die and so will his family. Which is what was supposed to have happened to the watchman and his family.
So rumor goes that if you spend a night in this village you will die within a month. I cant confirm... coz believe me when I say... this place is super spooky after sundown... so curse or no curse... I am never camping here.

I visited Kuldhara last month. They have rebuilt 2 houses near this temple in the pic to give an idea to the tourists how the houses would have been in their hay days.
