Raghupati, the conspirator in the play ‘Sacrifice’

Raghupati is the priest of kali temple in Tripura. He is devotee of Goddess kali. He believes in making sacrifice to kali. Govinda, the king of Tripura has no child from wife Gunavati. She goes to kali temple to pray goddess kali for a child. Raghupati suggests her for animal sacrifice. The king has already given an order to stop animal sacrifice when Aparna a beggar girl tells king about the sacrifice of her goat. The king sends back the queen‟s animals from the temple. The queen requests to allow animal sacrifice. The king does not hear her. Raghupati tells the Queen that the pride of king will bring bad luck to him. His throne will brust like a bubble. Raghupati is a very shrewd man. He tries to incite Nayan Rai against the king. Nayan Rai refuses to do so. He even incites Jaisingh, prince Nakshatra to kill the king. It shows his revengeful and conspiring nature.
