Nepal's Shah Dynasty Origins: The Legend of Drabya Shah
Om avsnittet
Before Prithvi Narayan Shah unified Nepal, his ancestor Drabya Shah seized the small hill principality of Gorkha in 1559. This episode follows Drabya's rise from a disgruntled prince of Lamjung to the founder of the Shah dynasty, exploring the legends surrounding his takeover: a holy man's prophecy, a severed buffalo head, and a night attack on the Gorkha fort. We examine the chaotic politics of the Chaubisi Rajya — the 24 principalities of the Gandaki Basin — where Khadka rulers and petty lords fought for dominance. Drabya's story sets the stage for the Shah dynasty's later expansion, showing how a single ambitious man carved a kingdom from the Himalayan foothills. We also touch on the unresolved mystery of Drabya's death and the early Shah kings who kept Gorkha alive before Prithvi Narayan Shah.
