Kulamandan Khand (Nepali: कुलमण्डन खाण्ड) was the founder of Shah dynasty and the ancestor of King Prithivi Narayan Shah The title Shah was given by the king of delhi to khand thakuri of kaski for the act bravery. His son Yasho Brahma Shah succeeded him as the King of Lamjung and Kaski. His eldest son Narhari Shah became ruler of Lamjung while the second son ruled over Kaski.

Khand word which was Derived from Khagan which mean a historic title in Mongolic cultures, originated in the Eurasian Steppe, denoting a king or ruler; evolving from a noble title in the Seljuk Empire to signify rulership in the Mongol Empire, later declining in importance and becoming a surname in post-Mughal era. Historically, Khand Kings were Close to Magars. According to Local people the community who consume local Alcohol are Referred as Magars Whereas who didn't consume local Alcohol changed their caste and started to write Khand Thakuri. Both Magar and Khand Thakuri community worship kuldeuta or Kul-puja (ancestor worship) in Alamdevi Temple (Nepal's former Shah Kings' mother Goddess or family deity) in Syangja District where Magar priest (Maski Rana Magar) is compulsory needed.[1] National and International Historian and Anthropologist like Dr. Rajaram Subedi, Francis Buchanan-Hamilton who studied them stated that khand (Thakuri) and Magar are two brothers "KHANCHA KHAND" AND "MINCHA KHAND" which is also a Magar language.
