About the book
This volume focuses on the late Malla period (1520–1768 A.D.). It examines how the Kathmandu Valley was split into three separate kingdoms: Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur. The author explains how the rivalry among these kingdoms sparked a golden age of art and architecture, while active trade routes boosted the local economy. Finally, the book shows how internal conflicts between these cities made the valley vulnerable to conquest and unification under Prithvi Narayan Shah.
