History of Kuldhara Village
The village was originally inhabited by Brahmins who had migrated from the Pali region to Jaisalmer. According to a popular myth, way back in the 1800’s, the village was a jagir or state under Minister Salim Singh who was treacherous in his own ways of tax collection. The taxes levied on the villagers were already too high. Over and above this, the minister has a liking for the beautiful daughter of the village chief and threatened the villagers that if they try to oppose or stand in his way or don’t turn over the maidens to him without any protest, he would levy even higher taxes on them. To save the life of his villagers and daughter, the chief along with the entire village escaped overnight, leaving the village deserted and abandoned. While leaving, the villagers cursed the village that no one ever will be able to live here in all the days to come.
