Mukut gained the throne following the brief reigns of Pratap Manikya and Vijaya Manikya I, who were likely his elder brother and paternal nephew respectively.[3] It is possible that his ascension was ensured through backing of military leaders, whose influence had waxed during the reigns of his immediate predecessors.[4] Numismatic evidence indicates that this occurred in 1489.[5]

However, Mukut's own rule was very short, with the coinage produced the very next year (i.e. 1490) instead displaying the name of his brother Dhanya Manikya.[6] It may be that he had lost the favour of the chiefs, who subsequently had him overthrown.[4]
