Katyuri kingdom
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Katyuri dynasty.
The Katyuri kingdom, also known as the Katyuri dynasty, was a medieval kingdom that ruled over the regions in Uttarakhand in India and western Nepal from either 500 to 1200 CE or 700 to 1200 CE. The founder of the dynasty, King Vasudev Katyuri, was originally a Buddhist ruler, but he later started following Hindu practices, sometimes attributed to a vigorous campaign of Hindu philosopher Adi Shankara (788–820 CE).
