Abstract: This paper is to explore the evolution of the legendary story of Rankini Devi or Rukminidevi Mother’s Temple is one of the Fairy-tale stories but it is the true factual scientific history. The history is not written on myths or superstitions or stories. True scien tific history is written by facts, theories and accurate evidences. With the assimilation of History and religion there arise some different legends and mythological stories. Hence it can be said that one of the most significant criteria behind social differentiation was religious worship. Differences arose among people based on the differences in religious customs and rituals and the way of worshiping gods and goddesses. On the other hand, within Hindu society, there is a difference between caste-based Hindus and underdeveloped Hindus, as well as differences in religious practices and deities. There is a hiatus between the view of history and the factuality of history, that is, the ontologico-epistemology of history and exactitude of history, and this hiatus plays the role of the stimulant for those who are conscious of history as institutional historians, private scholars, archeologists, ideologues, amateur historians, lovers of history, authors, artists or persons adhering to a specific set of values rooted in history, to undertake the arduous but inspiriting task of finding out the archeological and other sorts of evidences. The research emphasizes a bottom-up perspective, centering the voices and experiences of Chandipur and Nandigram Thana’s people.
