I finally got a chance to visit the history. It was hung in each and every corner of the "Hanuman Dhoka" museum. I could fulfill my desire to know the history of Kings of Nepal. It took 2 years just to come to this place for me. I could have visited any time because money was not the hindrance for this. I was waiting for the moment when I could see beyond what was shown in the museum. I wanted to see Bhimsen Thapa's blood turning fresh in my visit and also the regime of Rana in the palace. Today, I finally found an army brother who could guide me to the palace and its rooms. Then, I visited the palace where I got amazing experience and an instinct of proud Kings of Nepal. Their bravery touched my heart the most. So, history came alive from Prithivi Narayan Shah to Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev. I also saw the unseen. The historical figures came alive in the following sequence.
Part 1 - "Jungey" supported me upstairs
I met the army brother in Nasal Chowk, the main chowk that we see as soon as we enter Hanuman Dhoka. I saw big posters of Kings of Nepal on my left starting from Prithivi Narayan Shah to Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev. On the right was a vast ground (Chowk) which signaled me the historical events that happened hundred years back.
Then came the starting point of the museum. I stood in front of huge beautiful palace which was built in none other than ancient age. The big pillars and art in almost every wall fascinated me. As soon as I stepped inside, I saw the beautiful inner design and art of gods and goddess. The palace had a round stairs which was derived from typical British palace. The whole palace actually had a British fashion. Brother told me that Jung Bahadur Rana brought the design to the palace after returning from Britain. Ranas were always a cruel ruler but I respect for their love for art and bravery. Further, I am no one to judge them or to judge the history.
While I started to climb the stairs, I felt like King. Brother said that I actually walked like one. Climbing the historic stairs Jungey left, I felt that Jung Bahadur Rana was by my side assisting me to climb and inviting me to his palace. I felt that he leaded me to the Cinema Hall (collection of King Tribhuwan's memories now). So, I started the journey with Jungey's company.
