Early life
His mother was Kaushalyawati Shah but he was cared for by Chandra Pravawati, the first queen of King Nara Bhupal Shah . He started taking general interest in the affairs of the state because his father spent most of his time in the prayers. He had a great dream to win over Nuwakot, partially because his father had lost a war with Nuwakot. Walking around Gorkha and talking to people about the general concerns of the palace was his passion and this helped him to understand the needs of the citizens of [3] Gorkha.
Shah was able to unify Nepal and later the Nepali forces were able to fight against British colonial forces and prevent colonization of Nepal. He died before he could effectively organize the administration of his new country. He died in January, 1775 at the age of 52. Upon his death, Prithvi Naraya Shah was succeeded by his son, Pratap Singh Shah and his unification campaign was continued by his younger son Bahadur Shah.
