Rajendra Bikram Shah King of Nepal (1813–1881) was King of Nepal from 1816 to 1847. He became king at age three on the death of his father Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah Deva. As had been the case with his father most of Rajendra’s rule was under the regency of Queen Lalit Tripura Sundari (died 1832) and Prime Minister Bhimsen Thapa. As regent Bhimsen Thapa kept the king in isolation—he did not even have the freedom to leave the palace without permission.
