Kapalkundala (Bengali: কপলকুণ্ডল) is a Bengali romance novel by Indian writer Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay.[1] Published in 1866,[1] it is a story of a forest-dwelling girl named Kapalkundala, who fell in love with and married Nabakumar, a young gentleman from Saptagram, but eventually found that she is unable to adjust herself with the city life.[2] Following the success of Chattopadhyay's first novel Durgeshnandini, he decided to write about a girl who is brought up in a remote forest by a Kapalika (Tantrik sage) and never saw anyone but her foster-father. The story is set in Dariapur, Contai in modern-day Purba Medinipur district, Paschimbanga (West Bengal) where Chattopadhyay served as a Deputy Magistrate and Deputy Collector.[2]
Chatterjee soon wrote the first Bengali novel, Durgeshnandini in 1865. It was a love triangle and its main characters were Jagat Singh, a Mughal general; Tilottama, the daughter of a Bengali feudal lord; and Ayesha, the daughter of a rebel Pathan leader against whom Singh was fighting.
