Episode list

Set in the sand dunes of western Rajasthan, Kuldhara is just one of 84 abandoned villages dotting the stark landscape. A local myth claims that these villages were of the Paliwal Brahmins who fled their homes overnight to uphold their honour because the PM of the Jaisalmer court at that time wanted to marry the headman's daughter against her wishes. How true this myth is, no one can tell.

Far up in the Himalayas, a couple of hours drive from the border town of Kargil, further north from the grand Srinagar-Leh Highway lie the ruins of what once must have been a majestic fort. Rumoured to be taller and older than its famous cousin - the Leh Palace, the Chiktan fortress is shrouded in many mysteries. Legends of its making, numerous sinister and violent events, magical tales of wondrous creations and a heart-wrenching tailspin of destruction and apathy encompass the story of this fabulous fortress set in an almost fantastical location.
