Sonbhadra Valentine’s Day Week is being celebrated in a very colorful manner worldwide. Couples are celebrated in a new way. Many such love stories are also missed in Prem Week, which are immortal in history. Then no date and day of love used to be fixed nor was there a wait for February. If there was something, there was a lot of love. This is the love story of Veer Lorik, a resident of Gaura in Ballia district and Manjari, a resident of Agori State of Sonbhadra.

This love story of 10th century

When Veer Lorik offered her love to Manjari of Agori State of Sonbhadra, 200 km away, Manjari could not sleep for many nights. Lorik had decided to see Manjari that he would not marry anyone other than that. On the other hand, in Manjari’s thoughts, Lorik’s face and powerful arms were also day and night. This love story of Lorik and Manjari’s 10th century is still heard in the tribal society of the entire North India.

Tribal

The story of the tribal hero Lorik has a deep connection with the Agori Fort of Sonbhadra. This fort is still there but is in a very dilapidated state. Built BC, this fort was rebuilt by Kharwar and Chandel kings around the 10th century. Well, Ahir, a resident of Manjari Agori, was the daughter of Ahir, who was eyeing the king of Agori. It is said that Molagon was tyrannical. When Meher came to know about the daughter’s love, he was frightened because he knew the plans of Molagathagat. Meher immediately contacted Lorik and requested Manjari to get married immediately.

Clean the entire army

It is said that the sword of Lorik, a devotee of Maa Kali, was of 85 mind. In the war, he was equal to thousands alone. Lorik knew that without defeating Molabhagatha, he would not be able to send Manjari off. With the preparation of the war, the procession came from Ballia to the Son river bank. King Molabhagatha took all measures so that the procession could not cross the Son, but the procession crossed the river and reached Agori Fort. There was a fierce war and bloodshed. So much blood was shed that the name of the drain coming out of the fire became Rudhira Nala. Molagat, his army and his immense powerful elephant, an elephant, was also killed in this war. Even today, a symbol of elephant is seen in the Son River in front of the stone fort.
