The Mahisapala Dynasty (Nepali: महिषपाल वंश) was a dynasty established by an Abhira that ruled the Kathmandu Valley.[1][2][3] They were also known as Mahispalbanshi.[4] They took control of Nepal after replacing the Gopala dynasty.[5] The Gopalas and the Mahisapalas were together known as Abhiras.[6] Three kings of Mahisapala dynasty ruled the valley before they were overthrown by the Kiratas.[7][8]
