Coronation of Birendra
1975 coronation in Nepal / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Birendra was crowned as the tenth King of Nepal on 24 February 1975,[1][2] at the age of 29. The coronation was held two years after the death of his father, King Mahendra because the first year was a year of mourning period and the next was considered inauspicious by court astrologers.[3] Representatives from 60 nations attended the ceremony.
