Notes:
1) Service ribbons of 1st and 2nd classes of Nepalese are 48 mm wide, these of classes 3 through 5 are 38 mm in width, these of remaning decorations and medals are 32 mm in width.
2) The Order of Mahendra-Mala, invested solely upon foreign reigning monarchs, is a collar-only award and does not have any corresponding ribbon.
3) The Life Saving Medal (Gajendra-Moksha) is worn on the right side of chest.
4) The Marksmanship Medal (Lakshya-Bhedaka-Padaka) is a neck decoration and is not denoted by a service ribbon. The ribbon has been presented here only to show what the actual ribbon looks like.
On May 28, 2008 The National Assembly proclaimed Nepal Federal Republic. All orders and medals of the Kingdom of Nepal became therefore obsolete.
