 A princely state ruler of Prayagpur donated 500 bighas of land (including the Chittora Lake) to the Samiti.A temple of Suhaldev, with several paintings and sculptures, was constructed on this land.During the 1950s and 1960s, the local politicians started characterizing Suhaldev as a Pasi king to influence the Pasis, a Dalit community and an important votebank around Bahraich.
