Reign Captivated by her beauty the king married her and made her the chief consort and name. She was made the Bor Raja by
Siva Singha after having declared chatra-bhanga-yoga which means the end of his reign by astrologers, in other to avert this he made Phuleswari the chief regent and gave the title of Bor Raja (Great king), and gave the name of Pramateswari, a name of Goddness Durga. Phuleshwari actually took the reins of government to her hands and meddled too much on the matter of region and customs, Phuleshwari was more under the influence of the Brahmanas, particularly the Parvatiya Gosain, she attempted to make Saktism the state religion. To execute her plan, she summoned the Shudra Mahantas to the Durga Puja held in Sakta shrine and compelled them to bow their heads before the gooddness, have their forehead besmeared with the blood of sacrificed animal and made them accept nirmali and prasad. The Mahantas considered it as a grave insult not to be forgiven, he decided to take vengeance at an opportune moment, which later caused a key factor for the
Moamoria rebellion. And in her consuming zeal of a neophyte for Sakti Hinduism, she declared Shaktism as the state's official religion.
