Bhangarh
Fort was constructed by King Bhagwant Das for his son Madho Singh
(younger son of the illustrious Man Singh I). This fort cum township was
abandoned in the year 1783 CE. Bhangarh is believed to be one of the
most haunted places in India.
On
an architectural note this township has been observed, by
archaeologists, to be very well planned. There are separate sections in
the city for residential areas, markets e.t.c. The streets are well
lined as well.
Madho
Singh, the individual for whom this town was built, was a royal prince
and a soldier. He participated in the Battle of Haldighati (against
Maharana Pratap) and led the vanguard of the Mughal forces of Akbar
(which were being commandeered by his brother Man Singh).
