rājaguṭhī
| Notes | var. rājaguṭha; n. a guṭhī established by the king or royal family. The Mulukī Ain of 1854 (§ 1.5) defines it as a guthi set up by a reigning king or queen of Gorkhā following the performance of a saṃkalpa. Definition of rājaguṭhī, however, changed over time. With the system of amānata instituted, the guṭhīs managed by different governmental associations became rājaguṭhīs. The Guṭhī Saṃsthāna Ain of VS 2021 defines it as a guṭhī belonging to or managed by the government. After VS 2033, all the guṭhīs under the jurisdiction of the Guṭhī Saṃsthāna became known as rājaguṭhīs (cf. Tandan 1995: 34-35). |
