I have not heard for a long time about him. But when I was in  7 th grade (I guess) in government school there was a chapter" sabaiko Ghar Ko Dhuri bata Dhuwa aaepachhi matra khana khane Raja Mahindra malla".

I think  a ruler can not be called good ruler if he does not have love and respect to his people. In that sense, Mahindra Malla alwayss stands clearly in my mind.

May be we can google it  and know more about him.
