Aishwarya from Nepal
Aishwarya Rajya Lakshmi Devi Shah ऐश्वर्या राज्य लक्ष्मी देवी शाह (born November 7, 1949 in Lazimpat Durbar, Kathmandu, Kingdom of Nepal ; † June 1, 2001 in Kathmandu , Kingdom of Nepal) was Queen of Nepal from 1972 to 2001. She was also known as Bada Maharani at this time . She was the wife and second cousin of King Birendra and the mother of Crown Prince Dipendra , Prince Nirajan and Princess Shruti Rajya Laxmi Devi Shah . She was the eldest of the three daughters of General Kendra Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana and Shree Rajya Lakshmi Devi Shah.
She has been described as a woman of classic beauty and her hairstyles gained fame among Nepalese women.
Life
education
Aishwarya was educated at St. Helen's Convent in Klassenong , India , and at St. Mary's in Jawalakhel. From 1963 she went to the Kanti Ishwari Rajya Laxmi High School. She then studied at Tribhuvan University, Padmakanya College and graduated in 1967 with a degree in art.
Family background
She comes from the Rana family, who ruled Nepal for 108 years. She was the daughter of General Kendra Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana (1921-1982) and his wife Shree Rajya Lakshmi Devi Shah (1926-2005). In fact, her family ruled Nepal until the 1950s. In 1969 she married Crown Prince Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev , the future king. This also resolved the dispute between the two families for supremacy in Nepal. After her violent death, her younger sister Komal, the wife of Prince Gyanendra , became queen through his accession to the throne.
Aishwarya's youngest sister Prekshya married Prince Dhirendra (1950-2001), another brother of the king, who was also one of the victims of the June 1, 2001 attack. Her sister Prekshya died on November 12, 2001 in a helicopter accident.
Queen of Nepal
After King Mahendra's death in 1972, Birendra became king and Aishwarya became queen.
Queen Aishwarya, unlike her meek husband, was energetic. She got involved in various social and cultural projects.
Queen Aishwarya was against democracy and she is said to have urged her husband to maintain the absolute monarchy for as long as possible.
She was interested in literature and wrote numerous poems under the name Chadani Shah. She was also a famous song composer and her songs have been performed on Radio Nepal and Nepal Television.
Queen Aishwarya was murdered together with her husband Birendra, her son Prince Nirajan, her daughter Shruti Rajya Laxmi Devi Shah and seven other members in the massacre of the Nepalese royal family . Her face was so disfigured by a gunshot wound that it was covered by a porcelain mask that was modeled on her face during the funeral procession.
