Make any list of the most haunted places in India, and you will be compelled by a supernatural instinct to
place the fort Bhangarh on top. Although we live in a world of logic, but reports of few uncanny occurrences
at Bhangarh defeats all form of reason. There is no concrete proof behind the eeriness, but few legends of
Bhangarh might reason for all the fear factors. Many visited this fort to justify its haunted-ness, some failed
to provide concrete results and some, by the way, never came back. Moreover, the scariness of the place is
such that the Archaeological Society of India has claimed it to be one of the most haunted sites in India even
making it illegal for anyone to visit this fortied city after sunset.
So, lets experience the nerve- chilling splendour of Bhangarh by exploring its mythic presence.
Few Facts
Situated in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, in the vicinity of the Sariska Tiger Reserve, Bhangarh is a 17th
century fort constructed by Raja Prabhash Rajguru. The premises of this haunted fort contain numerous
palaces, temples and havelis in addition to a Muslim tomb. The central palace is shielded by two inner
fortications and has ve gates serving as entryways. Other small building like the Nachan ki haveli
(dancers palace) and Jauhari Bazar (market place) are representive of the glories of a throbbing city that
was once a throbbing kingdom.
The Legend
You might be thinking about the mystery behind Bhangarh- the haunted fort. To our surprise, historians and
Internet have two legends. One of them claim that a sage Baba Balanath living in the fort demanded that his
own house should never get touched by the shadow of another house. A prince, in his arrogance deed this
and built a palace that completely overshadowed the forbidden abode of the sage. The sage in return cursed
the town with mass deaths and decay.
The second story revolves around romance and love. It is believed that an occult tantric, Singhiya used black
magic to snare the Princess of Bhangarh Ratnavati which didnt work. Hence, the tantric was sentenced to
death. The magician in turn cursed the town that everybody would die after him and would never get a
rebirth. Thats what happened nally when a battle in the following year destroyed everyone.
The Experience
For anyone visiting Bhangarh, obviously during daytime, there is some adrenaline gushing experiences
waiting. People have reported a weird feeling of being watched by someone. They get to hear sounds of
dancing, laughter, wailing and chattering in parts of the forts premises. Also, few people have even had an
unnatural feeling of not being alone. Denitely, there are some fear factors.
Are there any ghosts?
Many logical people have tried to explain the eeriness of Bhangarh, but interestingly have failed to deliver
any concrete conclusion. However, a team of Indian Paranormal society dared to spend a night at the fort
and apparently, they have reasons for all uncanny occurrences. Scientic concepts like electromagnetic
elds, temperatures and other parameters were seemed normal. The eerie sounds are supposedly from the
animals in the nearby Sariska Tiger reserve, and the random smell emerges out of all the occult practices

that happen during the day. Basically, what make Bhangarh haunted are all the legends behind it. However,
the society has not been able to provide any concrete data or readings that they have recorded. Also, why
they chose a stipulated time frame between sunrise and sunset is beyond comprehension of the normal
minds.
So, do you believe in ghosts?
