It is believed that the evil dewan or the minister in the ruling kingdom wanted to marry the young daughter of the village chief.He gave them a deadline for the marriage after which he warned that he would forcibly enter the village and elope with the young woman.All the chiefs of 84 villages met one night and for pride and honour decided to leave the villages in the dark of the night. Nobody knows where they went but it is believed that they settled near Jodhpur.It is believed that they cast a curse over the village as they departed that would bring death to anyone who tried to inhabit the land.The crumbling brick structures span out towards all directions and a ghostly silence is all that lives on there. ![]() © 2014 vaishnaviReviews
