Thakuris (Nepali: ठकुरी) are a caste in Nepal. They have claimed descent from the Khas people.
The Shah dynasty was from the Kingdom of Gorkha. Most prominent among the Shahs, Pritivi Narayan Shah, who started the expansion of his kingdom. After his death, his sons continued his work, and this ultimately led to present-day Nepal. It is written in his Divya Upadesh that the Shah dynasty, which ruled Nepal for almost 300 years, came from the Thakuri caste.[2]
Thakuris have traditionally constituted the ruling and warrior classes, resulting in high social status. Traditionally, the Thakuris' main occupations involve government, agriculture and military.[3]
