[3] Rajamati was born at Taha Nani in Itum Baha, a historical and sacred neighborhood in central Kathmandu.
It also gained fame because it was played by a guard of honor during the state visit of Prime Minister Jung Bahadur to England in 1850.
In the song, a love-struck man tells how much he desires Rajamati, and that he will go to Kashi (Varanasi) and become an ascetic if he doesn't get to marry her.
The song then mentions three sunken waterspouts in Kathmandu, Thahiti uptown, Kwahiti at the southern end and Maruhiti in the center (near Kathmandu Durbar Square);[7] and how Rajamati, who had gone to Maruhiti to fetch water, tripped on a large stone and fell flat on her back.
[6] The singer then laments how Rajamati was given away in marriage over her protestations because of a devious matchmaker, and how she ended up in a house without a decorative window.
