What happened in Rajasthan, India that made the entire area radioactive?

by sekretsoto

I have been reading about this ancient town where the radiation is off the charts, supposedly, and I just want to know if there is any facts surrounding this ancient city or if its all myth? Also, if it is real, are there any other ancient cities that have the same radioactive properties?

Rajasthan is a state, and it's not radioactive, I've been there myself (great historical monuments).

That said, natural radiation coming from the underlying rocks can often make an area uninhabitable.
