1840 CE to 1851 CE

A coalition ministry, again headed by Fateh Jang Chautaria, is formed in Nepal in September 1845.

The real power behind the throne is the favorite of Queen Lakshmidevi, Gagan Singh, who controls seven regiments in the army compared to the three under the prime minister.

Abhiman Singh and Jang Bahadur also serve as commanders, each with three regiments.

Plots and counterplots continue until Gagan Singh is found murdered during the night of September 14, 1846.

The queen is beside herself at the death of her favorite, whom she had hoped to use to elevate her own son to the monarchy.

She commands Abhiman Singh to assemble the entire military and administrative establishment of Kathmandu immediately at the courtyard of the palace armory (kot).
