Ther lived a Tantrik(black magician) who loved the princess and wanted to marry her but he knew that he was not the match for her. So one day he sent a oil for princess with magic in it. But the princess was clever and knew that it was sent by the tantrik to compel her and make her surrender to him. She threw the oil on the flor and it turned into a boluder which crushed the tantrik. Before dying he cursed the villagers and Bhangarh that nobody will stay happy and noone would be able to stay ther....
