The Most Puissant Order of the Gorkha Dakshina Bahu (Nepali: गोरखा दक्षिण बाहु; Order of the Gurkha Right Arm or Hand) was an order of knighthood of Nepal. It was one of the highest honors given traditionally by the king. It was awarded to both the military and civilians, including foreign nationals, for distinguished contribution to the country in the field of arts, literature, sports, science, and social service.[1] It was the second highest honor of the Kingdom of Nepal after the Order of Tri Shakti Patta; the award was discontinued after the fall of monarchy in 2008.
