The split stone structure has its origin in a folklore love story. The hero Veer Lorik demonstrates his love for Manjari by cutting the stone with his sword in a single swipe.
Veer Ahir Lorik is part of the Bhojpuri folklore of Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh, India. According to S.M. Pandey, it is considered to be the different Ramayana version Yadav warrior. Pandey notes that the three castes whose members sing the Loriki are the Dhadhor (Danhor), Kishnaut and Gval (Gvalbansi) all these comes of Yaduvanshi Branches. Veer Lorik is a divine character of this. The Veer Lorik Stone on the banks of the Son River in the Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh, contains a love story.

Eco Valley
A lookout and a picnic area. Great views of the Son Valley.
The 25 hectare park contains fossils of stromatolites, algae and ancient trees that are around 1.4 billion years old, dating to the Proterozoic period. For science lovers, it is a wonderful place but the park is not well maintained by the locals. Signs, guides and basic amenities are limited. The tourism potential of the site is untapped, making it for now, off the beaten track.
The fort is believed to have existed in the mythological times of the Mahabharata. In the 11th century, it was upgraded by Maharaja Vijay Pal. Inside the fort there are stone gravings and a number of statues. Four lakes surround the fort, adding it to its visual appeal.
