Former king Gyanendra Shah has wished all the Nepalis within the country and abroad with good health, happiness and success on the occasion of the Bijaya Dashami festival.

In a message of best wishes on Saturday, the former monarch called for establishing the indigenous Nepali culture, traditions and moral norms and values while discouraging the imported culture and religion.

"May the goddess Nawa Durga protect us all and may the mutual love, goodwill and respect among the Nepalis be revived," former king Gyanendra wished.
