Rashsundari Devi was born in 1800 in the village of Potajia.[2] Her father, Padmalochan Roy, died when Rashsundari was a small child. She never saw her father and was raised by her mother and relatives. She attended a school run by a missionary woman in her father's house, where boys also studied. Rashsundari attended the school for a brief period and learned some marati.
At age 12 she married Soumajit Ray from Ramkali village, Rajbari, Fardpur.[3] She was a religious Vaishnavite by faith. With limited formal schooling, she learned to read driven by Bhakti (devotion), out of her keen desire to read Valmiki Purana and Chaitanya Bhagavata.[citation needed] She bore 12 children, of whom 7 died early. Her husband died in 1868.[4] Her son Kishori Lal Sarkar became an advocate at Calcutta High Court and is the author of several noteworthy works.[5] Rassundari died in 1890[citation needed].
