  • The result of the treasure excavation

So, people started excavating the site, but despite much effort, nothing was found.However, the absence of gold in the excavation does not mean there is no gold in this place.The mystery of this hill is that gold is undoubtedly there, but no one has been able to find it.The story of gold being here is not new; it dates back more than 711 AD.It is named Son Hill because gold was hidden inside it.

  • What is the story of the treasure?

During the reign of King Balshah of the Khurwar tribal community in the Agori region, it was discovered that King Balshah had hidden a large amount of gold inside the Agori Fort.Upon hearing this news, the Chandela rulers attacked the Agori Fort in their greed for gold.However, King Balshah of Agori was already aware of the Chandela attack.

King Balshah secretly took a large amount of gold and hid it in various places in the surrounding forests with some soldiers.Later, he learned that the attackers had also discovered his hiding place.King Balshah then hid the gold in various places within a hill and escaped.The Chandela rulers surrounded the hill but were unable to find the hidden gold despite extensive searching.
