Bhangarh Fort:

King Madho Singh established his empire in Bhagarh and made this fort his residence. This is a small deserted town in Rajasthan. It's, in fact, an abandoned village. None stays in this town. Even the office of the Archeological Survey of India is outside the village. Usually archeology department office will be next to the pre-historic structure. But, in Bhangarh it's an exception. Also, you will see a board by the Archeological department, which reads: "Entering the borders of Bhangarh before sunrise and after sunset is strictly prohibited. Legal action would be taken against anybody who does not follow these instructions."

The legend has it that this village was cursed by a magician. The story states that Princess of Bhangarh, Ratnavati was loved by a magician. This magician apparently uses black magic on the oil purchased by Ratnavati so that the latter surrenders herself to the magician once she touches the oil. Ratnavati on getting to know this poured it to the ground. This act was said to have claimed the life of magician. While dying, magician cursed that this village would be ruined. The next year Princess Ratnavati was killed in a battle between Bhagarh and Ajabgarh.

It has been believed that the ghosts of people who died in that fort haunts the place and therefore entry is restricted between sunset and sunrise. Also, people believe that whoever enters the fort during this time will never return and they would apparently turn into ghosts.
