Shankaradeva (Nepali: शंकरदेव) was a Thakuri king of Nepal who reigned c. 1069–1083.




Reign


His rise to power was slow and gradual as shown by the epithets in the colophons. He was a king of religious disposition and an avid follower of Shiva. His name, Shankaradeva, literally means Lord Shiva. He also built temples and shrines.
Shankaradeva was dethroned by Vamadeva with the help of Thakuris of Patan and Jivas of Udaypur in c. 1083. The monarchy of the lineage of Bhaskaradeva came to a brief halt until Shankaradeva's son Simhadeva revived it in c. 1098.
