              Getting Garhwal Kingdom by Pradyuman Shah
         Pradyuman Chand (Shah) the Kumaon King and his brother Parakram Shah were in Kumaon when Jai Kirti Shah died in Dev Prayag.
   After getting information of death of Jai Kirti Shah, Pradyuman Shah, Parakram Shah and Harsh Dev Joshi marched to Shrinagar with their army. A couple of Garhwal Kingdom administrators wanted that Parakram should rule on Shrinagar Garhwal and Pradyuman Should be the Kumaon King. Harsh Dev had influence of Pradyuman. Harsh Dev Joshi wanted that Pradyuman Shah should rule on both the Kingdom that Joshi become actual ruler of Garhwal and Kumaon as Pradyuman was puppet of Harsh Dev Joshi.
 According to Walton, Pradyuman was in Shrinagar at the time of death of Jai Kirti Shah and he declared himself the Garhwal King. However, Maularam did not mention the said statement of Walton in Garhrajvansh Kavya.
                     Murder of Ajab Ram Negi
               Ajab Ram Negi wanted Parakram Shah as Garhwal King that he could become the whole in charge of Garhwal. Ajab Ram Negi was well aware of cunning conspiracies of Harsh Dev Joshi. Harsh Dev Joshi was aware about Ajab Ram opposing him (Joshi).  Harsh Dev Joshi arranged murder of Ajab Ram Negi.
 Pradyuman Shah became the Garhwal King and was as Pradyuman Chand the Kumaon King.

                Harsh Dev Returning to Kumaon
  Garhwal Kingdom administrators were worried by the presence of Harsh Dev Joshi in Shrinagar. Garhwal Kingdom administrators created such condition that Harsh Dev Joshi had to leave Shrinagar for Almora.

                      Ruling Period of Pradyuman Shah
    There are following suggestions for Pradyuman Shah Period-

Becket – 1786-1804
Raturi-  1797- 1804
Mukandilal – 1785-1804
The copper inscriptions of Pradyuman Chand are from 1781-1784. Therefore, it could be said the period as 1784/85-1804.
