One night, the entire hamlet of Kuldhara, together with the nearby 83 villages were left abandoned. The people completely vanished, no i knew where. It is said that the Minister of the together with then ruling King was an evil human being who had come upwards to Kuldhara together with had seen the immature adult woman of the hamlet chief. He roughshod inward honey amongst her directly together with said that the he would come upwards to the hamlet the adjacent 24-hour interval together with larn married to her. He asked the villagers to brand all preparations for the marriage together with left. This evil government minister was said to live on of a huge built together with coming from a depression caste. No i wanted to larn their children married to someone from a lower caste, that also to a somebody who looked similar a devil! The Brahmins together with then decided to abandon the village. In i night, the Brahmins carried this message to the nearby villages every bit well.

The adjacent 24-hour interval when the government minister came for his union together with saw the abandoned village, he tried difficult to expect for everyone, but inward vain.

The good planned hamlet would take away hold yet been inhabited had it non been for the evil eyes of the minister.
An interesting business office close the storey is that the locals yet believe the hamlet to live on haunted. There take away hold been stories of people trying to remain behind later on sunset together with getting inward trouble. One of which is of ii Germans who had stayed dorsum inward the hamlet later on dark. They had heard stories close gilt lying beneath the walls of the Kuldhara homes. Around midnight they started earthworks together with to their luck, they did respect the practiced one-time gold. But unfortunately, something happened, together with they could non deport the gilt amongst them. One of them died spell the other was arrested.
How 83 villages were isolated together with the people vanished inward i black is yet a mystery. Today the Government maintains the hamlet of Kuldhara every bit a tourist site.
