In Pictures: National Democracy Day celebrations

KATHMANDU, Feb 19: The 74th National Democracy Day is being observed across the country by organizing various programs on Monday.

The government organized a special ceremony at the Nepal Army Pavillion Tudikhel in the heart of the capital this morning.

Nepali people waged struggle and sacrificed their lives against the 104-year-old Rana oligarchy which was later compelled to declare democracy in the country in 1951 bowing down to the historic people's movement. 

Nepal ushered into the democratic regime with the formation of a government comprising representatives of the Nepali Congress and the Ranas following the proclamation of then King Tribhuvan in favor of democracy. 

Here are some photos of the event taken by Republica photojournalist Bijaya Rai.
