During the medieval period, the Malla kingdom in Nepal was divided into three smaller kingdoms: the Kingdom of Kathmandu, the Kingdom of Patan, and the Kingdom of Bhaktapur.
The Kingdom of Kathmandu was located in the Kathmandu Valley and was the largest and most powerful of the three Malla kingdoms. It was ruled by the Malla kings and was known for its cultural and artistic achievements. The Kingdom of Kathmandu is home to many of the temples and monuments that can be found in Nepal today, including the Temple of the Living Goddess, the Pashupatinath Temple, and the Boudhanath Stupa.
The Kingdom of Patan was located in the Patan Valley and was known for its prosperity and cultural achievements. It was ruled by the Malla kings and was known for its temples and monuments, including the Patan Durbar Square, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Kingdom of Bhaktapur was located in the Bhaktapur Valley and was known for its cultural and artistic achievements. It was ruled by the Malla kings and was known for its temples and monuments, including the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The three Malla kingdoms were separate and independent states, but they were all part of the larger Malla kingdom and shared a common culture and tradition. The division of the Malla kingdom into smaller kingdoms allowed for the development of distinct regional cultures and identities within Nepal.
