Siva Simha Malla (Nepali: शिवसिंह मल्ल), also known as Shiva Simha or Shivasimha, was a Malla ruler and the sixth king of Kantipur. He started his reign on 1578 after deposing his brother Sadashiva Malla.[1][2]

Reign

His brother, Sadashiva Malla, was a decadent King and was deposed by Shivasimha Malla and the general public in 1578. He was crowned as the King of Kantipur following the forced exile of his brother to Bhadgaon.[1]

Shivasimha Malla was of simple nature, but an ambitious king. He annexed Patan in around 1600 which was then ruled by the descendents of Vishnusimha since the time of disintegration after Yakshya Malla. He then conquered Dolakha and brought it under the control of Kantipur.[2]

He first installed his son Harisimhadeva as the governor of Patan. Harisimhadeva died shortly afterwards, and his son Siddhi Narasimha Malla was the governor of Patan.[2][3]

After the death of Shivasimha in 1619, his son Lakshmi Narasimha Malla succeeded him as the King of Kantipur, and his grandson Siddhi Narasimha Malla declared Patan independent from Kantipur. Thus, the kingdoms of Kantipur and Patan united by Shivasimha were divided again by his successors.[2][3]

Personal life

He was married to Ganga Rani and had two sons: Harisimhadeva, and Lakshmi Narasimha Malla. Siddhi Narasimha Malla was his grandson and the son of Harisimhadeva.[1]
