The Kingdom of Lalitpur (Nepali: ललितपुर राज्य) was a kingdom ruled by the Malla dynasty of Nepal.[1][2]

It was established in 1500 after King Yaksha Malla divided his kingdom into three parts: Bhaktapur, Kantipur, and Lalitpur.[3][4]

In 1768, It became part of the Gorkha Kingdom (later became known as the Kingdom of Nepal), after the conquest by the Gorkhas.[5][6]
