Hanuman Dhoka in Kathmandu Durbar Square highlights the
life of King Tribhuvan (1906-1955) who helped liberate
the country from the Rana regime in 1951 since the King
Tribhuvan was a highly respected and loved member of the
Nepali community. The Tribhuvan Museum pays tribute to
this amazing leader and many Nepali’s come here to pay
homage to the memory of this noble king and to educate
newer generations about his valiant and brave life. King
Tribhuvan is best remembered for his valiant efforts in
liberating the nation from the rule of the Rana prime
ministers.
The King of Nepal, King Tribhuvan, was born in Kathmandu
on 30 June 1906. He became king at the tender age of 5.
Tribhuvan was officially crowned in the year 1913, but
the Royal Family did not rule Nepal. The Rana family was
in control of the country and they often made decisions
that had a negative impact of the country.
The Nepalese public became increasingly unhappy with the
Rana’s rule and they supported the return of the
country’s power to the monarch. By the 1930’s the King
was of age to rule Nepal. It was only due to the
outbreak of World War II that the Rana’s spared the
kings’ life. They did this on the request of the British
who wanted Nepal backing them in the war. But after the
war ended and Britain moved out of India, the King and
his family fled to India to escape the wrath of the
disposed Rana family. Through pressure from the public
and from international countries, the Rana’s were forced
to admit defeat and conform to the kings’ dream of
democracy. King Tribhuvan took charge of the country’s
transition until his untimely death due to illness in
1955.
The Tribhuvan Memorial Museum showcases the entire
history of the King’s life, his victories, his losses
and the realization of his dreams. An extremely rare
collection of personal items and photographs of the King
and the entire Royal Family are on display in the
Tribhuvan Memorial Museum. Newspaper clippings telling
the story of his final victory over the Ranas and the
spectacular paintings of King Tribhuvan and the kings
that followed are all exhibited here. The Tribhuvan
Museum is a worthy tribute to this great man, a King who
won back his throne and freed the people of Nepal.
