Vamadeva (Nepali: बामदेव) was a Thakuri king of Nepal who reigned from c. 1083–1085.

Life

Vamadeva was a descendant of Amshuverma belonging to the Vaishya Thakuris. In c. 1083, Vamadeva, along with the help of Thakuris of Patan and Jivas of Udaypur, dethroned Shankaradeva and made himself the king. It is believed that a similar act was performed with the ancestors of Vamadeva by Bhaskaradeva, an ancestor of the preceding monarch.

He had short reign of around two years and was succeeded by Harshadeva in c. 1085.
