History Of NepalAncient Nepal was divided into many tiny principalities and ruled by different dynasties. But its present boundaries are expanded after many decades.
The Mallas were benevolent patrons of the arts and it was during their reign that a ranaissance of arts, statues and temples flourished. During the 147th century Malla ruled this valley for a total period of 568 years. At that period this country was divided into small principalities and kingdoms of 24 groups in western and 22 groups in far western Kathmandu valley was divided into three states of Kantipur, Lalitpur & Bhaktapur. From the tiny Kingdom of Gorkha, halfway between Kathmandu and Pokhara the king of Shah dynasty gradually strengthened and extended their power. In 1768 king Prithivi Narayan Shah defeated the Malla kings. Nepal was then ruled by Shah kings until 2006, when an uprising ousted King Gyanendra and Nepal became a Federal Republic. The constitution is yet to be written.
