Pashupati Shumsher Rana’s daughter Devyani Rana was formally engaged to Ashwarya Singh, grandson of Union HRD Minister Arjun Singh, here on Sunday. The wedding is set for February 22.
The engagement was a family affair, conducted at Singh’s farmhouse in Bijwasan here without publicity.
Sunday also happened to be Singh’s birthday. Astrologers had said the day was auspicious for an engagement, so it was arranged immediately. Singh’s sons could not attend.
Devyani, who moved to London shortly after the royal massacre in Nepal in June 2001, has maintained a low profile ever since. She now lives at Lekha Villa in south Delhi, and works in the capital.
Ashwarya Singh, heir to the erstwhile riyasat of Churhat in Madhya Pradesh’s Sidhi district, is the son of Arjun Singh’s daughter Veena.
Besides the Singh and the Rana families, the engagement was attended by Devyani’s maternal aunts Yashodhara Raje and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, and first cousin Jyotiraditya Scindia.
