Nepal Army Chief General Ashok Raj Sigdel’s recent address to the nation amid ongoing protests drew huge attention—not just for his call for peace and order but also for the powerful image displayed behind him. The portrait of former Hindu king Prithvi Narayan Shah, the visionary 18th-century monarch credited with unifying Nepal, sparked widespread discussion and speculation on social media about its deeper significance.
Prithvi Narayan Shah is revered in Nepalese history as the founder of modern Nepal and holds a special place in the Nepal Army, with many military institutions named in his honor. The presence of his portrait behind General Sigdel is seen by many as a strong visual message and possibly a hint towards changing political tides—especially in a country witnessing pro-monarchy protests and political instability after years of republican rule.
In this video, we explore who Prithvi Narayan Shah was, his role in building Nepal, and why his image resonates so strongly in Nepal’s current military and political context. We also take a closer look at General Ashok Raj Sigdel, his background, and his leadership during this critical period.
