For 5 centuries, the villagers of Kuldhara were said to live in
harmony. Then, on one night, they just left… all of them. This strange
act has been a source of mystery for a long time. After all how can
around 1500 residents disappear like that?Various interpretations have emerged; some say that they did so to flee from an oppressive landlord and others mention about a love-struck young couple. The tale states that the father of the girl was an important man in the village and did not approve of the alliance. Whatever the cause was, nobody knows where they went to.

It is believed that the villagers cursed the land before leaving.
There were some who tried to live here but were said to have met with a
brutal death. Today this village remains abandoned, only alive in
stories.
