Kuldhara is now a deserted village located in Rajasthan; it is said to have been abandoned all of a sudden. After a lot of research, one tradition has it that Salim Singh, who was ruler of the place at that time, wanted to commit rape on a girl from the village and threaten the people of the village into submitting to the act. Thus, people ran away and left the village at night to save their lives and the girl’s. It is believed that while leaving the place the above residents casted a curse on the village.
