Mahendra was born 11 June 1920 to King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah of Nepal. Although Tribhuvan was nominally king since 1911. Mahendra was captive in Narayanhity Royal Palace, virtually a gilded cage. In 1940 he

married Indra Rajya Laxmi Devi, daughter of General Hari Shamsher Rana. They had three sons, Birendra, Gyanendra, Dhirendra and three daughters Shanti, Sharada, and Shobha. Crown Princess Indra died in 1950. In



1952, Mahendra married Indra’s younger sister, Ratna Rajya Laxmi Devi. This marriage produced no children. Meanwhile, popular discontent and the British withdrawal from India in 1947 had made Rana rule increasingly

untenable. In 1950 the political situation had deteriorated so far that personalized safety belonging to the royals was a student in doubt. Tribhuvan and every one of his family escaped to India. Open revolt ensued and by the end among the year the Ranas shown interest in a coalition government under Tribhuvan just where they shared power equally with the Nepali

Congress Team. By the end of 12 months the Ranas were maneuvered out and Nepal’s first experiment with democratic government under constitutional monarchy was underway. Tribhuvan’s health was poor when he died in 1955.
