Fort and the capital city of Kali Kumaon, Champawat, 1815.
The Chand dynasty was a Hindu dynasty that ruled the Kumaon area in present-day Uttarakhand state of India, after the decline of the Katyuri rule.[3] At times, their rule also extended to the western parts of present-day Nepal.[4] Somchand established the dynasty, establishing his capital at Rajbunga in present-day Champawat.[3]
The traditional genealogical lists of the Chand dynasty date their founder's ascension to as early as the 7th century, but historical evidence suggests that the Chand rule began only in the early 11th century.[5] Their rule ended in 1790, when Bahadur Shah of Nepal invaded the region, forcing the last king - Mahendra Chand - to flee.[6]
Chand's are also referred to as (६ पल्ल्या रजबार). A Rajbar who wears a "Janev" made of 6 threads (Maximum allowed for a Hindu).
