Nepali Pro-monarchists Protest In Front Of Former Royal Palace Demanding Reinstatement

Nepali pro-monarchists protest in front of the former Royal Palace, the Narayanhiti Royal Palace (Museum), in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 7, 2025, demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy in Nepal. The demand for monarchy continues to rise in the Himalayan nation with dissatisfaction rising against the republic system introduced in 2008. Nepal abolishes its centuries-old constitutional monarchy in 2006 after then-King Gyanendra seizes power and imposes an emergency, sending all the leaders under house arrest. The movement, also referred to as ''People's Movement II,'' witnesses bloodshed with dozens killed in a crackdown against protestors by the government. After weeks of violent protest and increasing international pressure, Gyanendra gives up and reinstates the dissolved parliament, marking the dawn of a new democracy highlighted as Loktantra (People's Rule). Within 18 years of the abolishment of the monarchy, the right-wing is back on the street demanding its reinstatement. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/Nur
