Rajasthan Rides

Kuldhara is a secluded village, located in Rajasthan at a distance of 18 kilometers from Jaisalmer city. The place was established in the 13th century by the Paliwal Brahmins. According to studies, the place was abandoned in the early 19th century due to an earthquake. However, locals narrate a different story. They believe that the residents cursed the village and fled on a dark night fearing the wrath of the Diwan.

Hawa Mahal, the architectural marvel made up of red and pink sandstone was constructed by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in the 18th century. The exterior of the palace is like the honeycomb of a beehive, comprising 953 Jharokhas (windows) having complex latticework.
