The novel is based on establishment of a new town in Lower Assam, Abhayapuri during 1898-1902 by a Queen of Bijni Princely State. However, the novel does not claim any authenticity of facts and materials from history. All the characters are fictitious except the names of kings and queens. The protagonist, Banamali Das of the novel was a common youth of Bijni princely state who lived during the regime of Queen Abhayeshwari, the founder of the present Abhayapuri township. He worked initially as a labourer in the construction works of the roads within the township and rose to the post of personal adviser of the Benevolent Queen. The character of Banamali and his family are non-existent and if however, anyone finds any similarity of any living or dead person(s) with the character of Banamali, it is a mere coincidence only.
