Harisimhadeva (also called Hari Singh Deva) was the King of the Mithila region in modern-day north Bihar during the rule of the Karnata dynasty.

He reigned from 1304 AD to 1314 AD.

He was notable for being the last king to belong to the Karnata dynasty of Mithila. His reign came to an end after Islamic invasion forced him to flee to the hills of Nepal. His descendants eventually became the founders of the Malla dynasty of Kathmandu who were known for being patrons of the Maithili language.

Legacy
The reign of Harisimhadeva was considered a crucial turning point in the history of Mithila. He was considered to have had a very stormy political career and the remains of his forts are still visible in Simraongarh today. His descendants eventually founded the Malla dynasty of Nepal which ruled for roughly 300 years.
