Siva Simha Malla was a Nepali.
Siva Simha Malla , also known as Shiva Simha or Shivasimha, was a Malla ruler and the sixth king of Kantipur. He started his reign on 1578 after deposing his brother Sadashiva Malla.
Life His brother, Sadashiva Malla, was a decadent King and was deposed by Shivasimha Malla and the general public in 1578 and forced into exile to Bhadgaon. Shivasimha was then crowned as the King of Kantipur
Succession After the death of Shivasimha in 1619, Lakshmi Narasimha Malla, another son of Harihara Simha, succeeded him as the King of Kantipur, and Siddhi Narasimha Malla declared Patan independent from Kantipur. Thus, the kingdoms of Kantipur and Patan united by Shivasimha were divided again by his grandsons.
