Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah Dev (Nepali: श्री ५ महाराजाधिराज त्रिभुवन वीर विक्रम शाह देव), (30 June 1906 – 13 March 1955)[1][2] was King of Nepal. Born in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, he ascended to the throne at the age of five, upon the death of his father, Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah, and was crowned on 20 February 1913 at the Nasal Chowk, Hanuman Dhoka Palace in Kathmandu,[3] with his mother acting as regent.[1] At the time of his crowning, the position of monarch was largely ceremonial, with the real governing power residing with the Rana family.[1]
