NNN--- The diamond and ruby studded crown worn by Nepal's kings, once considered the reincarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, will be put up for public viewing in mid-July, 2012 at the Narayanhiti palace museum in Katmandu, nearly four years after the abolition of the 239-year-old monarchy. The pagoda-roofed pink palace was made into a museum after the last monarch King Gyanendra left, handing the crown to the government. A 1939 Mercedes Benz presented by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler to King Tribhuvan, Gyanendra's grandfather, is also to be displayed at the museum.Photo courtesy agencies---NNN
