King Prithivi Narayan Shah
As depicted in the history Nepal was divided into small kingdoms and states. Such states were called baise chaoubise rajya in the native tongue.It was the dream,vision and farsightedness of Late king Prithivi Narayan Shah, a Shah monarch of Gorkha who conquered and united the small kingdom to a greater Nepal.Gorkha was itself a small kingdom with a small economy.Prithvi Narayan Shah was the eldest son of his father and king Narabhupal Shah born in the year 1723 AD(1779 BS).Prithivi Narayan Shah's mother Kaushalyawati was one among the four queens of his father(king).He was the ninth generation descendant of Dravya Shah (1559–1570), the founder of the ruling house of Gorkha. Though he was born to queen Kaushalyawati he was raised and educated by his senior step mother Chandra Prabhavati.It was through her schooling he learned all the good traits of a good king and a successful emperor.It was the inspiration of his senior mother that made him so loyal and dedicated with the unification and the dream of greater Nepal.He started taking general concern with the affairs of the state at a very young age as his father spent most of his time in the prayer room.From his very childhood he loved to walk around his kingdom, this helped him a lot to understand his kingdom and his citizens. His citizens also loved the future king.They believed in him.This was also quite inspirational for him.He believed in the existence of a greater and stronger Nepal. Since then he directed all of his actions, thoughts and deeds towards his campaign of unification.His fellow citizens were always strongly supportive in his campaign. To be precise it was the financial help from the people of Gorkha which laid the foundation of the campaign.Each household from the sacred land of Gorkha helped their beloved king in his campaign in every possible way they could.King Nrabhupal was highly spiritual in nature.He did not paid much attention to his royalness and ruling much.King Narabhupal left Gorkha and went to Kashi (an holy place in India ).So Prithivi Narayan Shah was in charged with the ruling of his nation at an age of 16.Later after the demise of his father in 1743 he was crowned as the king of Gorkha.
