Other information of note:
On January 9, 2003, Prince Hridayendra of Nepal (Nava Yubaraj Hridayendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev) made his first public appearance during a Hindu ritual in which he was fed solid food for the first time by his parents at the Narayanhiti Royal Palace in Kathmandu. The prince, son of Crown Prince Paras and Crown Princess Himani, was born almost six months ago and Hindu tradition in Nepal requires that babies will be fed rice in a ceremony (Annaprasan) days before they reach their sixth month. Following the ceremony he was taken around the city in a horse-drawn carriage on his first trip outside the royal palace, visiting holy sites in the old town. Prime Minister Lokendra Bahadur Chand officiated as the "guardian" carrying the baby royal to the Maru Ganesh and other temples near Hanuman Dhoka. Thousands of people lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the little prince. Later, Queen Mother Ratna gave a reception for select invitees at the Narayanhity Royal palace, that was also attended by King Gyanendra and Queen Komal and the parents of the baby, as well as other members of the royal family.
