PREDECESSORS AND SHORT HISTORY: The

dynasty was of Kuninda origin and was founded by Vashudev
Katyuri. Originally, from Joshimath, during their reign
they dominated lands of varying extent from the 'Katyur'

and 11th centuries AD, and established their capital at
Baijnath in Bageshwar district; which was then known as
