Abstract	Dark tourism, the practice of visiting sites associated with death, tragedy, and historical suffering, has emerged as a distinctive yet complex form of tourism. While globally recognized, dark tourism in India—particularly in Rajasthan—remains a relatively underexplored phenomenon. Known for its grand palaces, forts, and vibrant culture, Rajasthan also harbors a darker past marked by battles, sacrifices, and folklore, making it a unique destination for dark tourism. This study aims to explore the phenomenon of dark tourism in Rajasthan, examining the motivations of visitors, the socio-cultural and economic impacts on local communities, and the ethical considerations involved in its promotion. By analyzing prominent dark tourism sites such as Bhangarh Fort, Kuldhara Village, and Chittorgarh Fort, the research seeks to understand how these historically significant yet somber locations influence both tourists and residents.
