History

Dhari Malla (1554 CE. to 1565 CE.) the eldest son of Bir Malla was contemporary to the Emperor Akbar at Delhi. it is told that during his regime, Mallabhum was included under the control of the Mughal rule. He was the first Malla king to acknowledge the suzerainty of the Nawabs of Bengal and Promised to pay a triblue. Samrat Akbar for the convenience of his administration divided his kingdom into fifteen divisions or Subas. Each Suba was under the control of one Najim or Shipahashalar. Bengal, Bihar and Orissa together formed a Suba. The Najim of that Suba imposed tax of rupees one lakh seven thousand coins that is one lakh and eighty thousand rupess to the Malla kingdom. It is told that all the time Dhari Malla used to take back the money tactfully who had to pay as tax. Even then he was very distured and had an insulted and insecured feeling on the Najim's behaviour. Due to the feeling of insecurity, he paid attention on the security of his kingdom. He accumulated numerous firearms, cannon etc.[1]
