The Mallas came to Nepal from India. They had their kingdoms in India. They were afraid of the growing power of Ajatshtru. So the Lichchhavi, Massa and Shakya kings fled towards the Himalayas. The Mallas founded their states in the hills . when the Lichchhavis became wead in the Kathmandu Valley, the Mallas’ power grew. It is said that Aridev Malla (or Ari Malla) was the first historical Malla king of the Kathmandu Valley.
