However, history holds a unique identity from the Lichhavi period to the Malla regimes. The Lichhavi Kingdom rose around the 4th century and initiated trade among the Himalayas. But their reign was destroyed when King Prithvi Narayan Shah took over the kingdom and started to rule as a King of the whole country in 1769 A.D. The Shah dynasty was the last king to lead this nation until the public of Nepal dethroned them on 28th May 2008 A.D. Our country Nepal was declared the Federal Republic of Nepal.
