If you’re a lover of all things paranormal, the Bhangarh Fort will leave you elated. If you’re not, you can still enjoy the climb & walk through, and listen to the haunted stories.
The Bhangarh Fort exemplifies traditional town planning. The bazaar, common residences, temples and the main fort complex – all are well designed. As we walked towards the entrance, we were flanked by banyan trees.
Walking past the bazaar ruins, I could not help thinking how it would have been a bustling market once. Immediately after entering, we came upon the Gopinath Temple.
The Gopinath Temple is the most impressive one amongst all the temples at the Bhangarh Fort. It has fabulous carvings.
Bhangarh features regularly in ‘Haunted Places in India’ lists. We noticed the stream of tourists. But it would be interesting to see what ambience it takes after sunset! Irrespective of all the fables, do go there to ascertain for yourself if it is really haunted.
The Bhangarh Fort is best visited from November to February; we had scaled it on a January afternoon & it was quite warm then. And ensure you engage a guide; ours claimed to have heard women crying in there!
