King Dravya Shah of the Chaubise rajya ascended the throne of Ligligkot in 1559. It was a tradition to win the race and become a King during those days. On the day of Vijaya Dashami, it was customary to run from Chepeghat, the winner became the King in Ligligkot. According to history, Liglig race was started from 1548.
Dalsur Ghale Magar was the first person to win the race and became King of Ligligkot. The last king of Ligligkot was Dravya Shah. A place where weapons are stored is called a Kot. The word ‘lingling’ is deprived from Magar language meaning clear, pristine, and beautiful view. The word was twisted later as Liglig.
