The story goes as this village was inhabited by the Paliwal Brahmins during its former reign. Those days, the diwan of Jaisalmer, Salim Singh was known for his wickedness and one day declared that he wanted to marry the daughter of a village chief. He also told the villagers of Kuldhara that if his orders were disobeyed then he would levy heavy taxes on them. To prevent this, the villagers just fled one night and cursed the village to remain abandoning. While leaving the village, they have buried their wealth in the village planning to return back one day and take all their wealth with them. But they could not return and slowly after they started living their lives as nomads, they passed away far from their home.
It is believed that, in their after-life their spirits returned back to their home. In this way, they are living in their home which they loved to come but couldn’t. Since then, no one really knows that this village was ever settled again.
