Unnao gold treasure incident
In October 2013, in Sangrampur (Daundia Khera) village in the Unnao district of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, a local seer named Shobhan Sarkar dreamt that over 1000 tonnes of gold were buried under the ruins of an old fort of a 19th-century king, Ram Baksh Singh. Sarkar wrote to the President of India, the Ministry of Mines (India) and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) to consider excavation for the supposed hoard. The excavation work began on 18 October 2013. On 29 October 2013, the ASI announced that there was no gold buried in the location and stopped excavation work. More news was released on 29 October 2013, saying that ASI Director General Pravin Srivastava said the digging area was now planned to be widened, but clarified that the excavation work by his 12-member team had not been stopped. On 18 November 2013, ASI stopped the excavation and began filling up the trenches.
==Village history==
Sangrampur, also known as Daundia Khera, is a village located in the Bighapur tehsil of Unnao district, about 100 km south of Lucknow city in Uttar Pradesh, India. According to the 2011 census of India, it has 469 households and a population of 2672.
In the 19th-century, Alexander Cunningham, the founder of the Archaeological Survey of India, speculated that the site referred to as ''Hayamukha'' by Hiuen-Tsang, a 7th-century Chinese traveller, might be the present day Daundia Khera. Hiuen-Tsang had recorded visiting ''Hayamukha'', where he noted five Buddhist monasteries housing over 1000 members of the Buddhist sect Saṃmitīya. Cunningham considered it "almost certain" that the two places were the same, but acknowledged that there were significant differences between the early descriptions and what he saw then. He also relied upon the thoughts of James Tod, another British scholar who is nowadays not considered a reliable historian.
