The Licchavi dynasty rose in the Nepal Valley during the 4th or 5th century CE. While the Licchavi era is often dated from approximately 450 to 750 CE, some historical records associate the dynasty with a dating system that began as early as 110 CE. The rise of this dynasty marked the beginning of a coherent dynastic history for the region, establishing a precedent for Hindu kings of Indian origin to rule over the valley's diverse population.123
