Early life

Rana was born into a noble Hindu Chhetri family, his father Dhir Shamsher, was the youngest brother of Jung Bahadur Rana who started the Rana dynasty, and his mother belonged to a noble Rajput family from Kangra. He was made colonel by Jung Bahadur during his Annaprashana ceremony which marks an infant's first intake of food other than milk. At the age of nine, his father Dhir Shumsher died, subsequently, he was looked after by his brothers. Following the 1885 Nepal coup d'état, his elder brother Bir Shumsher became the prime minister and Juddha was made a general and given an allowance of 21,000 Nepalese rupees (NPR). At the age of 12, he was enrolled in a school, however, due to his deteriorating health, Rana had to leave his studies. During that time, he lived with Bhim Shumsher, who also performed his Upanayana ceremony. In 1888, he was married to Padma Kumari Devi of Gulmi.
