There are three lists of Chand dynasty kings of Kumaon available. Most of the three lists have similarities barring a couple of dissimilarities.
The year of king rule is on Vikarmi Sanvat and not Shake. That clearly indicates that the lists were prepared in British rule. The lists also show the total numbers of years rule by each king.
A list of Chand dynasty kings of Kumaon –Pundit Rudra Datt Pant submitted ‘A’ list to Atkinson. There are slight differences between ‘A’ list and B-C list.
B list of Chand dynasty kings of Kumaon –The Chand king Bhim Singh in British time provided this ‘B’ list.
C list of Chand dynasty kings of Kumaon –Kumaon commissioner prepared ‘C’ list of Chand dynasty kings of Kumaon in 1849AD. The’ C’ list of Chand dynasty kings of Kumaon are based on list ‘B’.

शहीद को शत्-शत् नमन
मुझे गर्व है देश की रक्षा के लिए शहीद होने वाले इस वीर जवान कार्की जी पर
इनका बलिदान भारत माँ के काम आया
मै अपने श्रद्धा सुमन भारत माँ के वीर जवान को अर्पित करता हूँ भगवान
शोकाकुल परिवार को इस घडी में दुख सहने की क्षमता दें

मेरे जीवन का सत्यार्थ मेरे पिता,
सिखाया जिन्होंने यह यत्यार्थ मेरे पिता।
हर पल जिनकी यह रही कामना,
मेरे सपनो को बेटा, तू अपनी आँखों में पालना।
लड़ जाना हर आंधी से,कभी ना तू घबराना,
जीवन में अपने कर्मो से ही आगे बढ़ते जाना।
धन्य हूँ मैं ,पिता आप जैसे हैं मैंने पाये,
आप का निर्मल मन ,ईश्वर खुद जैसे मेरे जीवन में आये।

Mile ho tum humko
Bade naseebon se
Churaya hai maine
Kismat ki lakeeron se (x2)
Teri mohabbat se saansein mili hain
Sada rehna dil mein kareeb hoke
Mile ho tum humko
Bade naseebon se
Churaya hai maine
Kismat ki lakeeron se (x2)
Teri chahaton mein kitna tadpe hain
Saawan bhi kitne tujh bin barse hain
Zindagi mein meri saari jo bhi kami thi
Tere aa jaane se ab nahi rahi
Sada hi rehna tum
Mere kareeb hoke
Churaya hai maine
Kismat ki laqeeron se
Baahon mein teri ab yaara jannat hai
Maangi Khuda se tu woh mannat hai
Teri wafaa ka sahara mila hai
Teri hi wajah se ab main zinda hoon
Teri mohabbat se zara ameer hoke
Churaya hai maine kismat ki lakeeron se
Mile ho tum humko bade naseebon se
Churaya hai maine kismat ki lakeeron se
Teri mohabbat se saansein mili hain
Sada rehna dil mein kareeb hoke

The Chand kingdom was established by Som Chand, who came here from Kannuaj near Allahabad, sometime in the 10th century, and displaced the Katyuri Kings originally from Katyur valley near Joshimath, who had been ruling the area from the 7th century AD. He continued to call his state Kurmanchal, and established its capital in Champawat in Kali Kumaon, called so, due to its vicinity to river Kali. Many temples built in this former capital city, during the 11th and 12th century exist today, this include the Baleshwar and Nagnath temples. They had brief stints with the Rajput clans in Gangoli and Bankot then predominant there the Mankotis of Mankot, the Pathanis of Attigaon-Kamsyar, Kalakotis and many other Khas Rajput Clans of the region. However they were able to establish their domain there. One of most powerful ruler of Chand dynasty was Baz Bahadur (1638�78) AD, who met Shahjahan in Delhi, and in 1655 joined forces with him to attack Garhwal, which was under its king, Pirthi Sah, and subsequently captured the Terai region including Dehradun, which was hence separated from the Garhwal kingdom. Baz Bahadur extended his territory east to karnali river. In 1672, Baz Bahadur, started a poll tax, and its revenue was sent to Delhi as a tribute. Baz Bahadur also built the Golu Devata Temple, at Ghorakhal, near Bhimtal, after Lord Golu, a general in his army, who died valiantly at war. He also built famous Bhimeshwara Mahadev Temple at Bhimtal. Towards the end of 17th century, Chand Rajas again attacked Garhwal kingdom, and in 1688, Udyot Chand, erected several temples at Almora, including Tripur Sundari, Udyot Chandeshwer and Parbateshwer, to mark his victory over Garhwal and Doti, the Pabateshwar temple was renamed twice, to become the present Nanda Devi temple. Later, Jagat Chand (1708�20), defeated the Raja of Garhwal and pushed him away from Srinagar, and his kingdom was given to a Brahmin. However, a subsequent king of Garhwal, Pradip Shah (1717�72), regained control over Garhwal and retained Doon till 1757, when Rohilla leader, Najib-ul-Daula, established himself there, though he was ousted soon by Pradip Shah.
