Doti

Doti was a Hindu hill kingdom in present-day western Nepal, centred on Ajayameru and Dipayal. The Raika line arose after the Katyuri kingdom split.

In the sixteenth century the Mughal commander Hussain Khan sacked Ajayameru, but the Raika rulers survived and later adopted the title Shahi. Gorkha forces defeated Doti on the Seti River in 1790. Its last king, Prithivipati Shahi, fled to the British-held plains and fought the Gorkhalis alongside the British in 1814; his lands became part of Nepal.
