Vamadeva (Thakuri dynasty)

Vamadeva (Nepali: बामदेव) was a Thakuri king of Nepal who reigned from c. 1083–1085.

[1][2][3][4] Vamadeva was a descendant of Amshuverma belonging to the Vaishya Thakuris.

[5][6] In c. 1083, Vamadeva, along with the help of Thakuris of Patan and Jivas of Udaypur, dethroned Shankaradeva and made himself the king.

[6][7] It is believed that a similar act was performed with the ancestors of Vamadeva by Bhaskaradeva, an ancestor of the preceding monarch.

[8] He had short reign of around two years and was succeeded by Harshadeva in c. 1085.
