The ninth generation descendant of Dravya Shah, King Prithvi Narayan Shah is the founder of Unified Nepal. The person who believed in "One king- One kingdom" was born in the kingdom of Gorkha, 1723.
The prince of Gorkha, Son of King Nara Bhupal Shah, succeeded his father and ascended to the throne of Gorkha kingdom at the age of 20. Although, He was the smallest king of the time, He was brave, powerful, responsible to his father's state and kind to his peoples.
Father of Prithvi Narayan Shah had the wish to conquer Nuwakot but was always defeated. As the responsiblity of son, Prithvi Narayan Shah fought and conquered Nuwakot even after the death of his Father. As Nuwakot laid between Kathmandu and Gorkha. Prithvi Narayan Shah's reign began with an immediate military defeat.
After losing the war of Nuwakot my father mostly prayed at home while I walked the streets of Gorkha rubbing shoulders with the brave one day I conquered Nuwakot reversing my father’s defeat my victory turned into a vision One king – one kingdom after long wait and many defeats I finally conquered Kirtipur
Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur fell as a pack of cards kings fled from palace to palace and an age ended forever from Mechi to Mahakali my sword wove a new garland the air is still fresh with its fragrance.
