HISTORY OF BHANGARH FORT :-

Bhangarh Fort was built in the seventeenth century. This fort was built by Raja Madho Singh, the younger brother of Man Singh. Raja Madho Singh was then posted as General in Akbar's army. Bhangarh is a magnificent fort located in the district of Alwar, which has been built in a very large size.

At present, this fort is maintained by the Government of India. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) teams are present around the fort.

THE CURSE OF BHANGARH :-

Bhangarh Fort is considered to be one of the most haunted places in India and is said to be cursed. There are several legends associated with the fort but there are two which are rather popular with the local population.

The first legend is that of a sadhu named Baba Balau Nath. Long before the king Madho Singh decided to construct a fort in Bhangarh, the area was a meditating spot for Baba Balau Nath. The sadhu gave his permission for the construction of the fort on the condition that the fort or any building within shouldn’t be taller than his house and if the shadow on any structure fell upon his house, it would result in the annihilation of the fort town. Ajab Singh, the grandson of Madho Singh, is said to have ignored this warning and greatly raised the height of the fort, the resulting shadow falling on the sadhu’s home, leading to destruction of the town.

Princess Ratnavati

The other legend is associated with princess Ratnavati, who was very beautiful and had a number of suitors from the royal families of the country. A wizard, adept in black magic, fell in love with the princess. As the princess went shopping with her friends one day, the wizard saw her buying ittar (scent) and replaced the ittar with a love potion. The princess, however, came to know of the wizard’s trickery and threw the potion onto a boulder nearby. This resulted in the boulder rolling towards the wizard and crushing him to death. But before being crushed to death, he cursed the city, stating that it would be destroyed soon and no would be able to live within its precincts. The kingdom was later sacked by the invading Mughal forces, killing all the inhabitants of the fort along with princess Ratnavati.

CLAIMED INCIDENTS AT BHANGARH FORT :-

Locals refer to this place as the ‘bhoot bangla’ or haunted house, claiming that the palace is abuzz with paranormal activity. Ghosts and ghouls are rumored to roam Bhangarh fort, with strange noises and bizarre activities being commonplace. Tourists claim to have seen ghostly apparitions along with the reports of music and dancing coming from within the city and fortress. Owing to this, no one dares to visit this site after sunset.It is also rumored that those who have stayed overnight have not returned, hence, the Government of India has set up a signboard issuing a warning regarding the same. 

Although there is no proof of whether these and other such Bhangarh Fort incidents are true or not, the element of strange mystery that these Bhangarh Fort haunted experiences impart to this architecture are indeed no less than magic. Some locals feel that one spirit that haunts the area is that of the magician Singhia, and will rid itself of it only once the princess returns to the palace. All in all, if one is looking for some ghost and adventure hunting, or is looking exclusively for the Bhangarh haunted experience, then these mystical and alluring ruins makes up for a sure shot winner. 

These and other such Bhangarh Fort incidents and Bhangarh Fort haunted experiences make up for the legend of this fascinating fort.
