Myths surrounding Bhangarh Fort

Over the years, the Bhangarh Fort has been surrounded by several tales. Here are some of them: 

The Curse of Guru Balu Nath

According to a legend, a saint, Guru Balu Nath, used to meditate in the land of Bhangarh. Maharaja Madho Singh took his approval to build his city there. The saint accepted his proposal. However, there was a single condition that the shadow of the Bhangarh Fort should not fall on his place. Otherwise, the city would be in ruin. Unfortunately, the shadow engulfed Guru Balu Nath’s cottage. The enraged saint cursed that there would never be a roof in any house. Since that, the village has been roofless, and even if someone placed a ceiling, it collapses.

The Tale of Princess Ratnavati

Another famous folklore circle around Bhangarh Fort is the tragic tale of Princess Ratnavati. Princess Ratnavati was so beautiful that the story of her looks reached numerous kingdoms and borders. After she reached eighteen, suitors from several states crowded to ask her hand in marriage. Amongst them was a wizard named Singhiya. Knowing he could never have her, he decided to use his sorcery to coax her with his spell. He prepared a magic potion and secretly swapped it with the one princess had. If the princess used the potion, she would fall for him.

Nonetheless, the princess learned about his scheme and threw it away. The elixir turned into a rock and rolled over, killing him. Before dying, Singhiya placed a curse. The princess also lost her life during the war between Ajabgarh and Bhangarh. The locals believed that the spirit of Singhiya and the princess still haunts the village. Many people have also heard women crying in that area.
