Hindu priests chanted hymns and prayed to the elephant god Ganesh as Nepal’s royal family attended the marriage of King Gyanendra’s only daughter, Princess Prerna, to commoner Raj Bahadur Singh, a University of California computer graduate.
Thousands of Nepalis lined Katmandu’s streets to cheer the smiling and waving 29-year-old bridegroom as he rode in a black carriage drawn by two white horses to the palace.
King Gyanendra and Queen Komal gave away the 24-year-old bride, who wore a gold-embroidered bright red sari and a veil.
