Swami Shobhan Sarkar had claimed that the 19th century local king Rao Ram Baksh Singh had appeared in his dream and told him about 1,000 tonnes of gold lying buried near a 180-year-old Shiva temple in Daundia Khera village of Unnao. The king was hanged to death by the British during the 1857 revolt and his palace, situated near the temple, was destroyed.
