another version about the fort

Few years ago, a man fell into the step-well located within the premises of Bhangarh and hurt his head. While he was being rushed to the hospital, the car crashed and the two others died. An unfortunate accident blamed entirely on ghosts. Locals of course completely support the fact that Bhangarh is indeed haunted. They would tell you laughingly that several people die in Bhangarh each year so their spirits and ghosts are bound to stay here. Several people including the children and old ladies of nearby villages will tell you tall tales about how they encountered "Bhoots, chudail, jinn" within the walls of Bhangarh. Official records however are an entirely different story, "there have been no deaths within this ancient fort. People of course get hurt sometimes because of lose boulders or when they try to act macho or mischievous but no one has ever died here.'

As it happens with every superstitious story, some, specially the locals around believe it is true, while others consider it merely as a made up tale. If we look at all the facts rationally, these legends can easily be waived off. While some try to prove the ghost story right, others want to debunk it by visiting the fort after the dusk.

Every story related to Bhangarh is from two prospectives. One is of the locals who live around here and the second point of view of the tourists who come here because of the interesting tales floating around on the web. One visit and you can easily tell that this place is no more than ruins and fallen walls now. Even though the fact cant not be denied that once in its prime, it was a beautiful fort, a majestic example of medieval architecture. But all that is now gone. Though restoration work is now in full swing, due to lack of care in past years, the beauty of this place has long faded. If a person is interested in old forts and palaces than there are other places in Rajasthan itself that are 100 times better than this. There is nothing to learn about ancient architecture at Bhangarh. Whatever was there has long collapsed and what now stands is work of ASI restoration department, not from several hundred years ago. There is absolutely nothing to see here except for a couple of temples but if you want to visit ancient temples, there are options way better than this.

Agreed that the place is located between the majestic hills of Aravali but again if it is hills that interest you then why come here? Why not travel towards Himalayas? Why not visit the several other beautiful hill stations located in Uttaranchal, Himachal and Kashmir? This place is still located in Rajasthan which means that it heats up like an oven for at least 8 months of the year. There is no reason to come here if you want to go up in the hills and beat the heat, or even if you want to view the natural beauty of hill stations. There is none of that here.
