This term is a Nepali adaptation of the Indian title <i><a href="/wiki/Thakur_(title)" title="Thakur (title)">Thakur</a></i>, which translates to 'master of the estate'.

They held positions of authority and governance, contributing to the administration and stability of the region. Their lineage was highly regarded, and they were often sought after for leadership roles within the kingdom. </p><p>Notably, members of the <a href="/wiki/Shah_dynasty" title="Shah dynasty">Shah dynasty</a>, which ruled Nepal for centuries, were descendants of the Thakuri caste from <a href="/wiki/Chaubisi" class="mw-redirect" title="Chaubisi">Chaubisi</a>.
