The Most Glorious Order of the Ojaswi Rajanya (or Ojaswi Rajanyako Manapadvi in Nepali) was established by King Tribhuvan on May 14, 1934.
The order is conferred upon distinguished individuals, specifically members of the Nepalese royal family, foreign royal families, and foreign Heads of State. It serves as a symbol of honor and recognition for their significant contributions and exceptional service, fostering diplomatic and friendly relations between Nepal and other nations.
The Order of the Ojaswi Rajanya is structured into three distinct classes:
- Sovereign (Parama-Ojaswi-Rajanya): The highest rank, usually held by the reigning monarch.
- Grand Master (Ati-Ojaswi-Rajanya): A rank awarded to high-ranking members of the royal family or esteemed foreign royals.
- Ordinary Members (Ojaswi-Rajanya): Individuals who have rendered notable service or demonstrated significant achievements.
Since its inception, the order has played a crucial role in enhancing Nepal’s diplomatic engagements and recognizing the contributions of key figures in both national and international contexts.
