Kuldhara Village


The village situated 18 kilometers away from the center of the city, had been abandoned by the residents here about 200 years ago. The village was abandoned in a matter of a single night. The town was initially built around a temple of the local deity of Kuldhara Village people. The rumors say that back in the days of the rule of Kings, the then minister Salim Singh fancied a girl who belonged to this village. He made several attempts to get to her. But the girl refused his proposal. When the minister refused to accept the rejection, the angered people of the town decided to leave his land.
