The Order of the Three Divine Powers

The Most Illustrious Order of Tri Shakti Patta (or त्रिशक्ति पट्ट, Tri Shakti Patta in Nepali) is a distinguished order of knighthood from the former Kingdom of Nepal.

This honor is bestowed upon members of the royal family, Nepalese citizens who have made exceptional contributions to the nation, and foreigners who have provided significant benefits to Nepal.

The medal was initially established by King Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah Dev in 1936 and was formally instituted as an order on November 27, 1937, by the same monarch.

Following the abolition of the monarchy in 2008, the new government introduced a revised series of awards. The Nepal Ratna Man Padavi became the highest class of these new honors, with the Rastra Gaurav Man Padavi as the second highest. These awards are now conferred by the President of Nepal on Republic Day, May 29.

The Order of Tri Shakti Patta has five classes and a medal:

• Member First Class (Jyotirmaya-Subikhyat-Tri-Shakti-Patta)
• Member Second Class (Subikhyat-Tri-Shakti-Patta)
• Member Third Class (Bikhyat-Tri-Shakti-Patta)
• Member Fourth Class (Prakhyat-Tri-Shakti-Patta)
• Member Fifth Class (Tri-Shakti-Patta)
• Medal (Tri-Shakti-Patta-Padak)
