ṭhākura
| Notes | [H.] n. an idol; a deity; any individual entitled to reverence or respect (Wilson 1855: 517). In the Kathmandu valley, the title thākura is mostly used by the Malla kings. As thākura also means deity, the Malla kings attempt to ensure that the title does not liken them to a deity by using only double veneration (śrī) for themselves while three for the deities. |
