Regarded as the most friendly King
Nepalese ever had, he died in a Royal Palace Massacre which also killed 9 of
his family members including his wife, his son Dipendra - then the would be
King of Nepal. Nepalese media as well as foreign news media such as BBC and CNN
conclude that "Dipendra shot himself after shooting his entire family
because of his parents's dislike of his choice of bride" but majority of
Nepalese view Royal Massacre as the number one unsolved mystery of Nepal.

No radio ends its daily programming
without a song by Narayan Gopal. He is the "Sor Samrat" in Nepali,
meaning "the King of vocal" / "The King of Singers".
Narayan Gopal earned many awards including Radio Nepal's Sarbottam Awards,
Ratna Recording Award, Lions Awards and Jagadamba Award. His songs have
heart-touching lyrics like the one "Jharay ko pat jai bhayo.. Ujhad Mero
Jindaki.." meaning "Like a dead leaf fallen from a tree, deserted my
life like the leaf", a typical song for someone who is dumped by his girl
friend! and equally the song for lovers and dancers the "Mohani Laglahi
Gaulayko Bolilay" from the motion picture "Chino". Mr. Gopal's
favorite song writer was Kali Prasad Rijal. Think of a tragic and sad songs of
a broken-heart or think about the most famous Nepali singer of all time, That's
him who left this earth a while back but never the hearts of Nepalese!
