Khaba Fort, Jaisalmer Overview
Khaba Fort overlooks the ruins of a village once home to Paliwal Brahmins, abandoned around the same time and for the same disputed reasons as nearby Kuldhara. The fort itself dates to the 13th century and now houses a small museum of regional artefacts within its restored sections. It's usually visited together with Kuldhara, since both sit along the same desert road.
The turreted towers, intricate latticeworks, and the beautiful windows add elegance to the structure. Its charm is enhanced by a muster of peacocks. It also houses a small museum with ancient artifacts and various kinds of rock fossils. The Shiva temple, mud huts are the other remnants of the place. The staircases that lead to the underground is home to 80 deserted sandstone abodes. Here is something uncanny- before anyone leaves the fort, its former residents cast a spell to prevent anyone from settling in the village ever again. Till date, the fort is nothing but ruins of what was left behind 200 years ago.
