Ravana’s maternal uncle’s village, where Subahun’s death took place, is a victim of neglect of development.

Ballia: Today, let us take you towards the mythological and historical village, yes, as soon as the camera enters the village limits, the first thing that comes into view is the vast greenery, blooming fields, peaceful atmosphere and the sweet fragrance of the soil, all of which were soothing to the mind. This was the village where mythological history and present were seen colliding with each other. It seemed as if this village was bringing alive the story of Ram and Ravana and was saying something.

This village is seen to be associated with the Ramayana period.
Let us tell you that this is Sujayat village under Chitbaragaon police station area of ​​Ballia district, which is associated with the Ramayana period. Local elders (Gama and Mukhram) said that, according to beliefs, Ravana’s maternal uncle Subahun, the son of Trijata and Sunda, used to live here. The camera moves forward and stops on an ancient mound. This mound is not only a heap of soil, but is also a witness to thousands of years of history.

It is said that this village is named Sujayat after the name of Subhu. This place is also considered important from archaeological point of view. According to renowned historian Dr. Shivkumar Singh Kaushikeya, excavations were conducted here by the Archeology Department, in which many ancient remains were found, which indicate the historical authenticity of this area. It was here that Lord Rama killed Subahu. Lord Ram, Lakshman and Vishwamitra had come to Ballia, about which an old saying is very famous in Ballia, which is as follows, Bhor Bharwali Bhaye Ujiyaara, Buxar Jaaye Tadka Mara.

This village is neglected for development
At some distance from the village, where Subhu’s brother Marich once lived. Marichi, the village named after him, is today almost confined to the pages of history. Its physical existence is now barely visible. The scene changes as soon as we return to Sujayat. The overflowing drains, broken roads, slums and lack of basic facilities also expose a bitter truth of modern India. This village, which has such a rich history, today stands far away from development.
This village has become history
This documentary is not only the story of a village, but also the voice of that heritage, which is being forgotten with time. The question remains the same, will history remain confined to books only or will it ever get its due? However, this village is historical in itself. People here say that this mythological mound is now turning into a jungle thicket, there is a need to save it.
