Bhangarh Fort in Alwar is famous for:

Explanation

Bhangarh Fort is associated less with military size or antiquity and more with its haunted reputation. Rajasthan Tourism describes it as India's most haunted place and as one of the most haunted places in India. The fort stands amid the Aravalli hills and contains ruined havelis, temples, deserted marketplaces and the remains of a once-prosperous township. Its folklore includes curse legends linked to Baba Balau Nath and Princess Ratnavati, which explain why the site is remembered as cursed. Because it is considered haunted, Bhangarh Fort remains out of bounds for visitors before sunrise and after sunset.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Bhangarh Fort's reputation rests on its haunted identity, not any record of having the tallest walls.
• (B) Bhangarh is known for its haunted fame, not for being the oldest fort.
• (D) Bhangarh is not Rajasthan's largest fort; Chittorgarh holds that distinction.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan's fort heritage through a site's distinctive cultural association rather than its architecture alone. Such questions recur in RAS because forts are asked through location, patronage, folklore and tourist-cultural identity.
