Pyuthan

Pyuthan was a hill principality of western Nepal, counted among the Chaubisi Rajya or twenty-four states. Its neighbours included Gulmi, Argha and Palpa, other small kingdoms of the mountain country. Gorkhali forces conquered Pyuthan in 1786 as their kingdom expanded westward. A later royal order appointed a custodian to conduct worship of Gorakhnath at Pyuthan, with land set aside to support the rituals.
