'Bhrikuti' (also ''Bhrikuti devi'') was a princess of the Licchavi kingdom of Nepal during the 7th century. She was daughter of the King Aṃshuvarmā.
Bhrikuti is said to have married a Tibetan king by the name of Tsrong-tsong Gompo (King Srong Tsangampo / Srong btsan sGampo), converted him to Buddhism, and built famous monuments of Tibet such as Jokhang and Potala, as well as temples in Bhutan. However, no evidence outside of tradition has been found to support the story.
