This a town called shingnapur, near Nashik in Karnataka. It is a famous pilgrimage center for those who worship shani (saturn). Another thing famous about this town is that no building has a door in it. Even the banks and jewellery stores are without doors. There is a saying that anyone who steals something in shingnapur cannot leave shingnapur alive. This is believed to be because of Shani's Dasha. Also, people out here believed that enclosure is the worst punishment anyone can face. Even worse than death. They believe that if you are in an enclosed room it is like a prison though you may call it as a luxury suite. They believe that closed enclosures block there thoughts and a man's life is spiritless in an enclosed room. Because of this faith people of this town travel in open trucks only. They don't even enter cars or buses. So now you have two reasons to visit shingnapur one is to see the houses and he second one is of course the pilgrimage.
