It was situated near Bolpur in today's West Bengal. It had mines of gold and expensive gemstones. The king of Roopnagar was King Rudra. He was honest and famous king. He was popular not only in his kingdom but also in other kingdoms. His subjects were very happy. They lived in peace and harmony. The king had only one daughter. Her name was Rudrani. Although the king craved for a boy but his wife gave birth to a girl child. He was upset for a few days but later he was convinced by his worshipped Lord, Shiva. He appeared before him and confirmed king Rudra that the queen gave birth to a girl child by his blessing. He was instructed to bring her up as a warrior without discrimination. Therefore, King Rudra allowed her to learn all kinds of skills such as playing music, sword fighting, horse riding and many more by the specialists. She was brought up like a prince. She also worshipped lord, Shiva. But far away from Roopnagar, there was another kingdom whose King was a serpent. His name was Nagasura. He was jealous of the king Rudra's popularity. He began a new campaign to further enlarge his empire. He possessed a much larger army. He had taken possession of many nearby small kingdoms by force. He was planning to conquer Roopnagar to seize its mines. He and all his followers looked like human beings but with only few differences. Their heads resembled snakes, their skins were made of small scales and they had long tails behind their legs. Their eyes were green and split tongues.
