The story begins in a city in northern India, where a seller of scents and essences has a beautiful daughter named Dourani. Dourani is not only known for her beauty but also for her exceptional singing and dancing abilities, which she shares with her fairy friend. Both are highly favored by Indra, the king of the gods. Dourani's hair is like spun gold and smells like fresh roses, but its weight becomes unbearable, leading her to cut off a tress and throw it into the river.
