Queen Rajya Lakshmi wanted to have her son, Prince Ranendra, to be crowned the next king instead of her stepson Surendra Bikram Shah.
She was somewhat responsible for the Kot massacre in 1846, which initiated the 104-year rule of the Rana dynasty in Nepal.
Her husband was usually described as an incapable ruler, and his senior wife, Queen Samrajya, was the de facto regent from 1839 to 1841.
The queen gave orders for the entire administrative establishment of the country to be brought immediately at the courtyard of the palace armoury.
Then the queen ordered the man she suspected to be the murderer of Gagan Singh to be executed.
Queen Rajya Lakshmi- who had always trusted Jung- was begun to be shown disrespect and even the king was insulted.
