King Jai Prithvi Bahadur Singh of Bajhang was the first person to discuss Bahai religion in Nepal. Bahá'í World Volume IX, pages 585-587 In his own words: “In 1929 or some years before that, I heard the name of Bahá'u'lláh and the Bahá'í Faith. Once again I was drawn to Bahá'u'lláh and His teachings when I set out on a tour of Europe to speak on the methodology of humanism to promote peace and unity among races, nations and individuals. My friend Lady Bloomfield gave me books on this subject.
