History


This Order was instituted by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh. It was conferred upon Hindus and other dignitaries; however, this religious distinction was not supported by the Statues of the Order, although it is likely that it was practiced to a certain extent.

This Order could be awarded to a total of 5 recipients at one time.

The obverse Sanskrit inscription translates to "The Bestower of Happiness on His People". It also features an inscription in Devanagari, which translates to "King of the West".
