The Kingdom of Bhaktapur (भक्तपुर राज्य) was a kingdom ruled by the Malla dynasty of Nepal in the 15th century.
It was established in 1482 after King Yaksha Malla divided his kingdom into three parts: Bhaktapur, Kantipur, and Lalitpur.[1][2]
In 1769, It became part of the Gorkha Kingdom (later became known as the Kingdom of Nepal), after the conquest by the Gorkhas.[3]
