He united the small kingdoms into one large nation, "Nepal". He also declared Kathmandu the capital of Nepal. He spread the feeling of unity among the people. He was a brave and ambitious king. He died at the age of 52. We celebrate his birthday as Prithvi Jayanti, or National Unity Day, every year.
