Curdi is a ghost town in making. It is a village that was displaced for making way for the Salaulim Dam. It remains submerged in dam water most of the year. Only in May, just before the monsoons, the village emerges for a while and you can visit it. In between water bodies, you see villages that were living just about 35 years ago. You can see houses, a temple that is still living, Tulsi Vrindavan and public spaces like the stage for the performances.
Curdi is hauntingly beautiful. It makes you feel happy and sad at the same time. The fact that it allows you a very small window to visit adds to its charms.
