Bhangarh Fort, located in Alwar district of Rajasthan, is famous for its historical heritage, architectural art and mysterious stories. Built in the 17th century, this fort is counted among the most famous historical places of Rajasthan. Its ruins still attract a large number of tourists.
There are many folktales popular about Bhangarh. According to a famous legend, a monk had set a condition for the construction of the fort that its shadow should not reach his ashram. It is said in the folklore that after the condition was broken, Bhangarh was destroyed due to the curse of the sage. However, the historical evidence for these stories is unclear.
