Dhruvadeva, also spelled Dhruva Deva, (Nepali: ध्रुव देव) was a son of Shivadeva I of the Licchavi dynasty and a king of Nepal in the 7th century.
He deposed his brother Udaydeva with the help of Jishnu Gupta and reigned as a figurehead monarch.
Dhruvadeva became the king but he did not have any powers and Jishnu Gupta was the highest authority in the realm.
Dhruvadeva resided in Mangriha while Jishnu Gupta ruled from Kailashkut Bhawan.
[1][3] Dhruvadeva, and later his son, Bhimarjunadeva are only referred to as a person leading a nation, and the highest titles were given to Jishnu Gupta.
