About Gorakshya Rajya Lakshmi Devi

Lived 1798 – 1816 (aged 17–18).

Gorakshya Rajya Lakshmi Devi (c. 1798 – 16 December 1816) was the junior Queen of Girvan Yuddha Bikram Shah, King of Nepal. She may have been the mother of Rajendra Bikram Shah, in which case she would have given birth to him at around age 15.

Edward Gardner, who was the British Representative at the Nepalese court during 1816, stated that, while it was reported she had died of smallpox, he did not believe that was accurate, particularly as she had been exposed to smallpox as a child and would have immunity to the disease. Instead, he attributed her death to premature childbirth, potentially caused by anxiety and distress.
