Bhangarh Fort
भानगढ़ किला
A 17th-century abandoned city known as 'the most haunted place in India.' Inside its walls are a market street, temples and palace ruins, steeped in legend.
Bhangarh Fort was built around 1573 by a son of Man Singh I, the ruler of Amber. The city was abruptly abandoned in the 17th and 18th centuries, leaving behind an intact market street, havelis, the Gopinath Temple and the ruins of a palace on the hillside. Legends of a sorcerer's curse have made it 'the most haunted place in India.' The Archaeological Survey of India prohibits entry before sunrise and after sunset. Entry for foreigners is about 300 rupees (check on site). It is about 85 km from Jaipur, roughly a 2-hour drive, and is often combined with Chand Baori in a day trip.
