Former Nepali king Gyanendra Shah revived royal symbolism in Janakpur ahead of elections, sparking controversy.
Former Nepali monarch Gyanendra Shah began a religious pilgrimage in Janakpur ahead of March parliamentary elections, visiting the Janaki Temple and nearby sites with family and supporters, drawing large crowds and pro-monarchy chants.
He used full royal titles—such as "Shree 5 Maharajadhiraj Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev"—marking a reversal from his previous self-identification as "former king" since the monarchy's 2008 abolition.
This shift, despite prior police warnings and legal concerns over violating the constitution, reflects a renewed effort by royalist groups and the Rastriya Prajatantra Party to revive monarchical symbolism ahead of the elections.
