The Kingdom of Lalitpur, also known as Patan, (Nepali: ललितपुर/पाटन) was a kingdom ruled by the Malla dynasty of Nepal.[1][2] It was established in 1482 after King Yaksha Malla's death. His sons divided the kingdom into four parts: Bhaktapur, Kantipur, Lalitpur, and Banepa.[3][4]
In 1768, It became part of the Gorkha Kingdom―present day Kingdom of Nepal―after an aggressive unification campaign launched by Prithvi Narayan Shah.[5][6]
