Another story say the Diwan of Jaisalmer, who was famous for his debauchery set his eyes on the beautiful daughter of village chief. When he was tipped off about the intention of Diwan, chief decided to leave the village to save his daughter.
Fearing that in the absence of chief, other people of village may become victim of Diwan's anger, the entire village decided to disappear overnight. They only took some of the valuable items and left the village in dark.
