Légende

The Queen of Nepaul, 1857. 'The Queen of the late Rajah was the daughter of a Goruckpore, formerly of low birth, but possessed of great talent for intrigue, which was her ruin, as it was found necessary to divorce her on the ground of sterility, and she was succeeded by the mother of the present Rajah, who in his turn has taken to himself the lady whose Portrait we give'. Maharani Hiranya Garbha Kumari Devi was the principal wife of Jung Bahadur Rana. On the death of her husband in 1877, Devi committed sati. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
