They were related for sure because both Devyani and Aishwariya were frm the Rana family.
In addition to that, there were two other candidates for the marriage, Garima nd Supriya. The queen's choice was Supriya. Plus she had personal problems with Devyani's mom who herself was from the royal family of Gwalior, India.

Yes samana the most cruel murder that too up on a royal clan ,thats something similar to assassination of Russian royal family including their innocent children on other circumstances . These two incidents are unacceptable act . 😒

@Vrish, the queen should hav accepted her because she was perfect. But the queen, as everyday knew, had the country under her hands rather than the king. Dipendra was madly in love Devyani. It was quite shocking to find out that he killed his own family! The queen's face was so badly disfigured that they had to replace it wid a china doll. A son couldn't hav done that. What about his sister and brother? They were purely innocent. I had even heard that princess Shruti was pregnant at that time.

About the maoists, I don't understand what's up wid the government? Actually its not ppl's fault, during the voting season the maoists bullied the rural residents to vote for them. For the urban areas the voting was done properly.
The ppl who were responsible for thousands of deaths, are now the rulers. I hate that!
Besides, I havn't noticed much change in the country's condition. It has degraded to say the truth.

@vanadhi, lord buddha was from Shakya clan, a kshatriya. Though there is no account (I havn't heard one) of the continuity of their clan. Although Buddha had a son named Rahul.

About intermarriage, that could be true because there are many instances where the members of same family married in Nepal. They used to call it mama cheli phupu chelo. (mama-mother's brother cheli- daughter. Phupu-dad's sister, here the mother. Chelo- son).
Though this was a very time back. Kings usually married two or more than two wives, who were sisters to each other.

@Vrish

About Buddha, I too am curious - if Rahul too joined the Sangha, then what became of Sudhodhana's dynasty after his death? Did it just dissolve, or get annexed to another kingdom?

@Vrish, even when Nepal is not considered as a hindu country right now, there isn't much change in the status that I have noticed. Only more holidays! Haha.
About Shivji, he is considered as the major deity. Vishnu temples are fewer and so are Vaishnavs. The temples, major festivals etc here are mostly associated with Devi, Shivji and Ganesh. Also Pashupatinath being in the capital is seen as the guardian of the country.

But if u had heard, the maoists tried to use the treasures of pashupatinatha for the welfare of the country. The pashupatinath treasury is thousands of years old and it is said that its very valuable. The treasure is said to be guarded by nags. The ppl were furious to hear this. But later the maoists dropped the plan.

Samana, I have another question. Towards the end of Rama's reign, Lakshman's sons were made kings of 2 cities in Karupadhadesh, which is described as being in the Himalayas. Is this a region/place anywhere in Nepal? The names of their cities were Angavad and Chandrakant.

I saw ur question just now. Sry for being late.

I don't know any place named as Karupadhadesh. Maybe the name was modified. But there isn't such place in Nepal.

About the kingdom, I think the Sen's ruled it which was later captured by Shahs.
