Salianah

Salianah, or Salyan, was a hill principality on the edge of the Dang country in western Nepal. It was one of the Baise Rajya, the small kingdoms of the Karnali and Bheri region, and was ruled by the Samala Shahi family before the expansion of the Gorkha state. Sri Krishna Shah abdicated in 1793; his successor Ranabhim Shah ruled until Salyan was annexed in 1809. Temples dedicated to Shiva and the goddess Devi stand in the surrounding country.
