Kuldhara is a cursed village.The residents had left the village overnight and disappeared into the endless wastes of the desert. Ghosts now roam it’s broken streets.
The stones were all there ,in piles,where there had been houses.Even the stones are cursed.Those who build their houses with these stones will bear their curse.
A heap of stones
Stones make a house in the desert against sun , the cold and the rains,marauding tribes on angry horses.
Stones are not houses against time,against the night when time leaves a village a heap of stones ,a rubble.
(Kuldhara is a ghost village near Jaisalmer abandoned overnight, in 19th century, by its residents to escape the tyranny of a ruling Minister who threatened to take the Chief’s daughter by force)
