Type, original: bound book; original

Content

Abstract: This travel diary records a hunting programme made by Prime Minister Candra Śaṃśera Jaṅga Bahādura Rāṇā. The hunting took place from the 23rd of Mārga VS 1962 to 19th of Phāguna 1962 (from 8th December 1905 to 2nd of March 1906). His team hunted many wild animals in various parts of Bara, Parsa and Chitwan districts. Prince of Wales, George V, was invited for the hunting and all the preparations were also made. However, the cholera pandemic spread among the hunting group and around 400 people from the group died. Nepalese side informed about the situation and, therefore, the prince’s visit was cancelled. Later, in December 1911 George V took part in a hunting in Nepal.
Sardāra Chavilāla Upādhyāya prepared this travel diary. This copy was later copied from the original.
