As the Agharias would not bend their heads they were as a natural consequence all decapitated as they passed through the door.

Only one escaped, who had bribed a Chamar to go instead of him.

He and his village fled from Agra and came to Chhattisgarh, where they founded the Agharia caste.

And, in memory of this, when an Agharia makes a libation to his ancestors, he first pours a little water on the ground in honour of the dead Chamar.

Such stories may be purely imaginary, or may contain some substratum of truth, as that the ancestors of the caste were Rajputs, who took wives from Chamars and other low castes.
