Sultanpur's 500-Year-Old 'Lost Fort' Vanishes, Only Lakhuri Bricks Remain

• A 500-year-old fort in Mahmoodpur Gram Sabha, Sultanpur, once ruled by the Obharia Kshatriya dynasty, is now largely reduced to ruins and Lakhuri bricks.
• Known locally as the "Lost Fort," its history predates the Mughal era, but detailed records are scarce.
• The site, spanning about four biswa, shows only scattered remains, mounds, and ancient Lakhuri bricks, with villagers cultivating around it.
• A nearby Mata Parmeshwari Devi temple, believed to be built by the Obharia dynasty, and excavated broken idols further confirm the fort's historical existence.
• Locals are demanding an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) survey to authenticate its history and preserve the remaining heritage.

Why It Matters: Sultanpur's ancient Obharia fort, now a 'Lost Fort,' needs urgent ASI intervention for preservation.
