Ten-year people's war and nineteen-day people's movement materialized The Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. After that, Narayanhiti Royal Palace was turned into Narayanhiti Palace Museum.
Narayanhiti palace is named by combining both Narayan and Hiti. ‘Narayan' means Lord Vishnu and ‘Hiti’ means the water fountain which is next to the Vishe temple. I searched for this information a day before we went to the Narayanhiti Palace Museum. I was very excited to go there. I was thinking about it. And then I felt sleepy and I slept.
Today we started our journey at 10:30 from school and we were there at 11:10. I was so excited to get in. When I saw the door I was so excited to get in.
The present structure of the palace was designed by a foreign architect. The construction began in 1963 and was complete in 1969. When I got in, I saw a big hall, Gaurishankar Gate. The main entrance to the palace is called Gaurishankar Gate. After entering through this gate, I reached the Kaski Hall. Kaski Hall was used for receiving the visiting Heads of the states. And after that, I went to Myagdi. Myagdi was the room served as Tearoom for the Prime Minister, Chief of Justice and the ambassadors. Parbat was the next place I went to. This was the room where visiting Heads of the states and other dignitaries used to sign visitors. Mugu was the next room where king Tribhuvan used to collect something. It was really old and I didn't get what was that. Lamjung was at the left side of Mugu, it was the Banquet Hall. Gelmi was the Private office of Kings. Dhading was the room where the king would take rest. I wish I could make something like this on my own. Dhankuta was the bedroom of king and queen. I was so lucky that I got a chance to enter that room. There was a big hall. It is known as Tribhuvan Sadh, where the bullets were fired. The garden area had rare varieties of plants and a mass of beautiful flowers and rounded house.
I liked all those things in the palace. I told my family all the things that I saw in the Palace.
