Shankaradeva (Thakuri dynasty)

Shankaradeva (Nepali: शंकरदेव) was a Thakuri king of Nepal who reigned c. 1069–1083.

[1][2] His rise to power was slow and gradual as shown by the epithets in the colophons.

He was a king of religious disposition and an avid follower of Shiva.

[2][4] Shankaradeva was dethroned by Vamadeva with the help of Thakuris of Patan and Jivas of Udaypur in c. 1083.

The monarchy of the lineage of Bhaskaradeva came to a brief halt until Shankaradeva's son Simhadeva revived it in c. 1098.
