Lakshmi Narasimha Malla

Lakshmi Narasimha Malla , also spelled Lakshminarasimha or Laxminarasimha, was a Malla ruler and the seventh king of Kantipur. He was the youngest son of Harihara Simha and succeeded his grandfather Shivasimha Malla in 1619 as the King of Kantipur.

Reign The reign of Lakshminarasimha started when his grandfather Shivasimha Malla died in 1619. Kantipur had annexed Patan during the reign of Shivasimha Malla but after his death, Siddhi Narasimha Malla declared Patan independent and hence Laxminarasimha only ruled Kantipur.

Soon afterwards, the King realized his mistake of sentencing Bhima Malla to death. It greatly depressed him and later on he went insane. He was imprisoned by his son Pratap Malla under the grounds of insanity who ruled Kantipur until 1674.
