Jaipur is an amazing city. In 1853, the buildings were washed pink to welcome the Prince of Wales, and ever since that time is known as the Pink City. Its design is based upon a mandala, so there is an exquisite sense of order to the city, and one that reflects cosmic principles that are intended to align human beings with their place in the universe. There is a loveliness that pervades here, with fine foods, a lively night life, and tours that the whole family can enjoy. There is also the mystery of India here, too, of course, and some splendid temples and even some fantastic stories. In the realm of the fantastic, some visitors like hearing about the nearby Bhangarh .
Located about two hours away, Bhangarh is certainly deserted. It has not been inhabited since the 18th or 19th century, and was once the seat of a kingdom. People certainly can, and do, visit, but there is a sign that warns against visiting before dawn and after dark. There are all sorts of tales about strange sights and sounds by people who have decided to break the law and stay after hours, and there are also tales of nothing happening. There are some really fantastic stories of a Tantrik, a sort of dark wizard, named Singhia, who placed various curses on the place, some because of jealousy over the land, and some because of his love for a beautiful princess. Whatever the truth might be is up for conjecture, but it’s certainly very interesting, and it’s a lovely place to visit (when it’s light!).
