If you do not request a locale when using get_currency_symbol(), Babel will use your current ambient monetary locale. It's quite possible that locale (we can't tell what it is) says Nepali Rupees should be formatted as NPR.

For instance, as a Finn I wouldn't understand e.g. 1023रू to mean Nepali rupees, but with NPR 1023 I do stand a chance.
