Queen Aishwarya Rajya Lakshmi Devi Shah was born on 7 November 1949 at Lazimpat Durbar, and she died on 1 June 2001 at Narayanhiti. She wrote poems and songs as Chadani Shah, also spelled Chandani Shah (चाँदनी शाह). She was queen from 31 January 1972, the day King Mahendra (महेन्द्र) died, until her own death. This page names the books and the songs. The lines stay in the books and the recordings, because the poems are still under copyright, which means the right to copy them still belongs with her family.
The books
Her poems were gathered as Aphnai Akash Aphnai Paribesh (आफ्नै आकाश आफ्नै परिवेश), which means one's own sky and one's own surroundings, and the book opens with an essay by a critic. In 1986 the government printed a booklet of 37 pages, Kavayitri Chandani Shahka Rachana (कवयित्री चाँदनी शाहका रचना), "The works of the poet Chandani Shah," from the Ministry of Communications, Department of Information. The public book lists spell that name Chandani. In 1987 a short book of 49 pages, Chadani Shah's Poems, came out in Kathmandu with the Nepali and the English on opposite pages. Bandana Shrestha made the English, and Indira Shrestha published the book. The University of Pennsylvania library catalogue is the check for that 1987 book, and the 1986 booklet is the one the public book lists carry. The lines stay there.
The songs
Songs credited to her were sung by Tara Devi, with music by Natikaji, and they were played on Radio Nepal and Nepal Television. Titles that go around under her name include Timile Diyeka Mayalu Koseli, Aanshu ra Suskeraka Bacha, and Yeti Thulo Sansar Ma. Those are public credits, the names a broadcast listing gives the writer. This page has not opened a studio log, so the credits stay credits.
School, the marriage, the palace
She went to St Helen's Convent in Kurseong, then to St Mary's in Jawalakhel. She passed the School Leaving Certificate, the last school exam of that time, in 1963 at Kanti Ishwari Rajya Laxmi High School, and in 1967 she took an arts degree at Padmakanya College. Banira Giri (वानीरा गिरी) was born in Kurseong. Aishwarya went to school there. They are different lives in the same town. In 1970 she married Crown Prince Birendra, her second cousin, the child of a parent's cousin. Her father was General Kendra Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana, and her mother was Shree Rajya Lakshmi Devi Shah. Her sisters were Queen Komal and Princess Prekshya. Her children were Dipendra, Shruti, and Nirajan.
On 1 June 2001 she was killed at the palace with King Birendra and two of their children, Shruti and Nirajan. Dipendra died on 4 June 2001. That is the whole of it on this page.
What to carry out of the room
Carry Chadani Shah as the name on the poems. Carry Aphnai Akash Aphnai Paribesh as the collection, and the 1986 booklet and the 1987 facing translation as the printed trail. Carry the songs as credits. The lines stay in the recordings. Carry the crown as the reason the work was printed and sung. This shelf is a line of books chosen because the writing changed the language, and these poems sit here with that reason said plainly.
कवितामा लागेको नाम
रानी ऐश्वर्य राज्यलक्ष्मी देवी शाह ई.सं. ७ नोभेम्बर १९४९ मा लाजिम्पाट दरबारमा जन्मनुभयो, र ई.सं. १ जुन २००१ मा नारायणहिटीमा बित्नुभयो। उहाँले चाँदनी शाह नामले कविता र गीत लेख्नुभयो। त्यो नाम चन्दनी शाह पनि लेखिन्छ। राजा महेन्द्र बितेको दिन, ई.सं. ३१ जनवरी १९७२, देखि उहाँको आफ्नै मृत्युसम्म उहाँ रानी हुनुहुन्थ्यो। यो पृष्ठले किताब र गीतको नाम लिन्छ। पङ्क्ति किताब र रेकर्डमै रहन्छन्, किनभने नक्कल गर्ने हक अझै उहाँको परिवारसँग छ।
किताब
उहाँका कविता आफ्नै आकाश आफ्नै परिवेश नामले जम्मा गरिए, जसको अर्थ आफ्नै आकाश र आफ्नै वरिपरि हो, र किताब समीक्षकको निबन्धले खुल्छ। ई.सं. १९८६ मा सरकारले ३७ पृष्ठको पुस्तिका छाप्यो, कवयित्री चाँदनी शाहका रचना, सञ्चार मन्त्रालयको सूचना विभागबाट। सार्वजनिक किताब-सूचीले त्यो नाम चन्दनी लेख्छ। ई.सं. १९८७ मा ४९ पृष्ठको छोटो किताब, Chadani Shah's Poems, काठमाडौंमा निस्क्यो, नेपाली र अङ्ग्रेजी आमनेसामने। अङ्ग्रेजी बन्दना श्रेष्ठले गर्नुभयो, र इन्दिरा श्रेष्ठले छाप्नुभयो। पेन्सिलभेनिया विश्वविद्यालयको पुस्तकालय सूची ई.सं. १९८७ को किताबको जाँच हो, र ई.सं. १९८६ को पुस्तिका सार्वजनिक सूचीले बोकेको हो। पङ्क्ति त्यहीं छन्।
गीत
उहाँका भनिएका गीत तारादेवीले गाउनुभयो, संगीत नटिकजीको थियो, र ती रेडियो नेपाल र नेपाल टेलिभिजनमा बजाइए। उहाँको नाममा चल्ने शीर्षकमा Timile Diyeka Mayalu Koseli, Aanshu ra Suskeraka Bacha, र Yeti Thulo Sansar Ma पर्छन्। ती सार्वजनिक श्रेय हुन्, प्रसारणको सूचीले लेखकलाई दिने नाम। यो पृष्ठले स्टुडियोको लग खोलेको छैन, त्यसैले श्रेय श्रेय नै रहन्छ।
स्कूल, विवाह, दरबार
उहाँ खरसाङको सेन्ट हेलेन्स कन्भेन्टमा पढ्नुभयो, अनि जावलाखेलको सेन्ट मेरीमा। ई.सं. १९६३ मा कान्ति ईश्वरी राज्यलक्ष्मी हाई स्कूलबाट एसएलसी पास गर्नुभयो, त्यो बेलाको अन्तिम स्कूल परीक्षा, र ई.सं. १९६७ मा पद्मकन्या कलेजबाट कलामा डिग्री लिनुभयो। वानीरा गिरीको जन्म खरसाङमा भएको हो। ऐश्वर्य त्यहीं स्कूल जानुभयो। एउटै सहरका फरक जीवन हुन्। ई.सं. १९७० मा उहाँले युवराज वीरेन्द्रसँग विवाह गर्नुभयो। उहाँहरूको हजुरबुबा एउटै होइन। नाता हजुरबुबाका बुबाबाट जोडिन्छ। बुबा जनरल केन्द्र शमशेर जङ्गबहादुर राणा हुनुहुन्थ्यो, र आमा श्री राज्यलक्ष्मी देवी शाह हुनुहुन्थ्यो। बहिनीहरू रानी कोमल र राजकुमारी प्रेक्षा हुनुहुन्थ्यो। सन्तान दीपेन्द्र, श्रुति, र निरजन हुनुहुन्थ्यो।
ई.सं. १ जुन २००१ मा उहाँ दरबारमा राजा वीरेन्द्र र दुई सन्तान, श्रुति र निरजन, सँगै मारिनुभयो। दीपेन्द्र ई.सं. ४ जुन २००१ मा बित्नुभयो। यो पृष्ठमा यति नै हो।
कोठाबाट के लैजाने
चाँदनी शाहलाई कवितामा लागेको नामका रूपमा लैजानुहोस्। आफ्नै आकाश आफ्नै परिवेशलाई सङ्ग्रहका रूपमा लैजानुहोस्, र ई.सं. १९८६ को पुस्तिका र ई.सं. १९८७ को आमनेसामने अनुवादलाई छापिएको बाटोका रूपमा लैजानुहोस्। गीतलाई श्रेयका रूपमा लैजानुहोस्। पङ्क्ति रेकर्डमै छन्। मुकुटलाई काम छापिनु र गाइनुको कारणका रूपमा लैजानुहोस्। यो दराज भाषा बदल्ने लेखनका लागि छानिएका किताबको लाइन हो, र यी कविता त्यो कारण खुलेर बस्छन्।
Where it sits
The page before this one is Banira Giri (वानीरा गिरी). King Mahendra (महेन्द्र) is earlier in the book, between Bhupi Sherchan and Prema Shah. His death on 31 January 1972 is the day she became queen.
