Once upon a time – actually nobody no longer remembers when – Ramshundar Deb was born in Chakdah village in today's Nadia district in West Bengal. His birthplace was not too far away from Darshana, in today's Bangladesh. One day, Ramshundar decided to leave Chakdah in search of fortune. He travelled to the East and settled in Jashodal, which was a part of the then Mymensingh district. Nobody really remembers why he travelled to Jashodal.
