KATHMANDU, DEC 06 - Nepal’s dethroned king Gyanendra Shah left for India on Sunday on a private trip to Orissa. The former monarch, who is accompanied by his wife Komal and private secretary Sagar Prasad Timilsina, is due to attend a wedding of his relative.
This is Gyanendra’s second trip to India after being deposed from the throne following the Constituent Assembly elections in 2008.
"They took a regular flight to attend the wedding of their close relative at Orissa in the third week of December. After the ceremony, they will stay in New Delhi for a week," Phadiraj Pathak, a close aide to the former monarch, told ekantipur.
The former king is expected to meet high Indian officials in Delhi. "No official request has been made in this regard, though," said Pathak. The former royals are likely to visit Rajasthan to meet their relatives.
