Interesting! My great grandmother from my mother's side, who was a Rayamajhi, (she passed away 10 years ago), used to tell me the story of Gambhir Singh Rayamajhi (she always mentioned him with the title "Colonel Rayamajhi") and ironically, she said the same thing where during the battle, the stomach was cut off and he took the "kachaura" covered his stomach up and sew it. This was way back when I was a 10 year old and always thought this was just a tale, and she also told other stories about Colonel Rayamajhi fighting ghosts as well in the middle of the river when he rode his horse to home every night.

The story of the battle was engaging at the time but I later dismissed it as I thought this was just an impossible feat.

But, now that "many" wrote about Colonel Rayamajhi and "Nalapani" did not refute this, means this may actually be true. If it is, what an incredible bravery!
