Vishnu Malla (Nepali: बिष्णु मल्ल) was a Malla dynasty king and the King of Patan. He succeeded Yoga Prakash Malla and reigned from 1729 until his death in 1745.




Ancestry


Vishnu Malla traced his lineage from Srinivasa Malla. Srinivasa Malla had a daughter named Manimati. Manimati's children were Indra Malla, and Punyamati. Punyamati married Darasimha and they were the parents of Vishnu Malla.




Reign


He strengthened his political powers by marrying Chandralakshmi, daughter of Jagajjaya Malla, the king of Kantipur. Kantipur and Patan once jointly invaded Bhadgaon and occupied some areas around Sanga which Bhadgaon later re-acquired with the help of Tanahun. It was during the time of Vishnu Malla that the Gorkha Kingdom and Tanahun started intervening in the politics of Kathmandu Valley and would end after being annexed by Prithvi Narayan Shah, the Gorkha king.
Vishnu Malla built and renovated several religious monuments. He also frequently donated generous grants to temples and guthis.




Succession


Vishnu Malla did not have any children and had adopted his brother-in-law Rajya Prakash Malla as his successor. Rajya Prakash was the third son of Jagajjaya Malla, the king of Kantipur. He had been expelled from his family's kingdom by his brother Jaya Prakash Malla who succeeded their father as the king of Kantipur. Rajya Prakash succeeded Vishnu Malla to the throne of Patan after the latter's death in 1745.
