The former King had left Kathmandu around a week ago. He spent some days in various districts of mid-western and far-western districts. Then, he has gone to India via Nepalgunj border.
The meeting between two Hindu leaders has received significant attention in the political sphere as it is said that both of them want to see Nepal returned to monarchy and Hindu state.
