Surendra of Nepal

Surenda redirects here. For the butterfly genus, see Surendra quercetorum.

Surendra Bikram Shah (1829-1881) was King of Nepal between 1847 and 1881. He became king after Prime Minister Jung Bahadur forced the abdication of Surendra's father, Rajendra Bikram Shah. Surendra wielded little real power, with Jung Bahadur effectively ruling the country during Surendra's reign.

Surendra's son Trilokya Bir Bikram Shah married two of Jung Bahadur's daughters. Trilokya died in 1878, and Trilokya's son Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah became heir to the throne.
