5/2/2016 <strong>Five</strong> <strong>Facts</strong> <strong>about</strong> <strong>Bhangarh</strong> <strong>Fort</strong>, <strong>Most</strong> <strong>haunted</strong> <strong>place</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong> | <strong>Tourism</strong> <strong>Infopedia</strong><br />
Make any list of the most <strong>haunted</strong> <strong>place</strong>s <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong>, and you will be compelled by a ‘supernatural’ <strong>in</strong>st<strong>in</strong>ct to<br />
<strong>place</strong> the fort <strong>Bhangarh</strong> on top. Although we live <strong>in</strong> a world of logic, but reports of few uncanny occurrences<br />
at <strong>Bhangarh</strong> defeats all form of reason. There is no concrete proof beh<strong>in</strong>d the eer<strong>in</strong>ess, but few legends of<br />
<strong>Bhangarh</strong> might reason for all the fear factors. Many visited this fort to justify its <strong>haunted</strong>-ness, some failed<br />
to provide concrete results and some, by the way, never came back. Moreover, the scar<strong>in</strong>ess of the <strong>place</strong> is<br />
such that the Archaeological Society of <strong>India</strong> has claimed it to be one of the most <strong>haunted</strong> sites <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong> even<br />
mak<strong>in</strong>g it illegal for anyone to visit this fortified city after sunset.<br />
So, let’s experience the nerve- chill<strong>in</strong>g splendour of <strong>Bhangarh</strong> by explor<strong>in</strong>g its mythic presence.<br />
Few <strong>Facts</strong><br />
Situated <strong>in</strong> the Alwar district of Rajasthan, <strong>in</strong> the vic<strong>in</strong>ity of the Sariska Tiger Reserve, <strong>Bhangarh</strong> is a 17<br />
century fort constructed by Raja Prabhash Rajguru. The premises of this <strong>haunted</strong> fort conta<strong>in</strong> numerous<br />
palaces, temples and havelis <strong>in</strong> addition to a Muslim tomb. The central palace is shielded by two <strong>in</strong>ner<br />
fortifications and has five gates serv<strong>in</strong>g as entryways. Other small build<strong>in</strong>g like the Nachan ki haveli<br />
(dancer’s palace) and Jauhari Bazar (market <strong>place</strong>) are representive of the glories of a throbb<strong>in</strong>g city that<br />
was once a throbb<strong>in</strong>g k<strong>in</strong>gdom.<br />
The Legend<br />
You might be th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g <strong>about</strong> the mystery beh<strong>in</strong>d <strong>Bhangarh</strong>- the <strong>haunted</strong> fort. To our surprise, historians and<br />
Internet have two legends. One of them claim that a sage Baba Balanath liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the fort demanded that his<br />
own house should never get touched by the shadow of another house. A pr<strong>in</strong>ce, <strong>in</strong> his arrogance defied this<br />
and built a palace that completely overshadowed the forbidden abode of the sage. The sage <strong>in</strong> return cursed<br />
the town with mass deaths and decay.<br />
The second story revolves around romance and love. It is believed that an occult tantric, S<strong>in</strong>ghiya used black<br />
magic to snare the Pr<strong>in</strong>cess of <strong>Bhangarh</strong> Ratnavati which didn’t work. Hence, the tantric was sentenced to<br />
death. The magician <strong>in</strong> turn cursed the town that everybody would die after him and would never get a<br />
rebirth. That’s what happened f<strong>in</strong>ally when a battle <strong>in</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>g year destroyed everyone.<br />
The Experience<br />
For anyone visit<strong>in</strong>g <strong>Bhangarh</strong>, obviously dur<strong>in</strong>g daytime, there is some adrenal<strong>in</strong>e gush<strong>in</strong>g experiences<br />
wait<strong>in</strong>g. People have reported a weird feel<strong>in</strong>g of be<strong>in</strong>g watched by someone. They get to hear sounds of<br />
danc<strong>in</strong>g, laughter, wail<strong>in</strong>g and chatter<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> parts of the fort’s premises. Also, few people have even had an<br />
unnatural feel<strong>in</strong>g of not be<strong>in</strong>g alone. Def<strong>in</strong>itely, there are some fear factors.<br />
Are there any ghosts?<br />
Many logical people have tried to expla<strong>in</strong> the eer<strong>in</strong>ess of <strong>Bhangarh</strong>, but <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>gly have failed to deliver<br />
any concrete conclusion. However, a team of <strong>India</strong>n Paranormal society dared to spend a night at the fort<br />
and apparently, they have reasons for all uncanny occurrences. Scientific concepts like electromagnetic<br />
fields, temperatures and other parameters were seemed normal. The eerie sounds are supposedly from the<br />
animals <strong>in</strong> the nearby Sariska Tiger reserve, and the random smell emerges out of all the occult practices<br />

that happen dur<strong>in</strong>g the day. Basically, what make <strong>Bhangarh</strong> <strong>haunted</strong> are all the legends beh<strong>in</strong>d it. However,<br />
the society has not been able to provide any concrete data or read<strong>in</strong>gs that they have recorded. Also, why<br />
they chose a stipulated time frame between sunrise and sunset is beyond comprehension of the normal<br />
m<strong>in</strong>ds.<br />
