Princess Purnika Rajya Lakshmi Devi (born 12 December 2000) is the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Paras and Crown Princess Himani, she is a granddaughter of King Gyanendra.

At the time of her birth she was not in the line of succession to the Nepalese Throne however in July 2006 the Nepalese government changed the succession law to equal primogeniture^[1] meaning Princess Purnika became third in the line of succession after her father. This means that she could potentially become the first reigning Queen of Nepal providing the Nepalese monarchy survives.
