Quick Summary

Yaksha Malla was a ruler in Nepal during the Malla dynasty's reign, which spanned from the 10th to the 18th century. He reigned from approximately 1429 to 1482. A significant event during his rule was the division of his kingdom among his three sons. This division led to the establishment of independent principalities in the Kathmandu Valley: Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. These states were crucial for trade routes connecting Tibet and India. The Malla era eventually ended in 1769 when the Gurkha ruler Prithvi Narayan Shah conquered the valley, unifying Nepal and establishing a new state.12
