When the Paliwals left the villages, they left a curse that nobody can inhabit the villages ever. Residents of Jaisalmer say that there have been some attempts by some families to stay there, but they did not succeed.
Since then, this village has become a ghost town. Nobody has dared to live here. Whoever tried, suffer a brutal death.
The houses made out of sandstones have become a tourist attraction. Several of these houses have been restored by Rajasthan Tourism.
