Jagadamba Shree Puraskar (जगदम्बाश्री पुरस्कार) Winners

36 recipients across 1988–2023 — a lifetime-contribution honor for a person or organization's body of work in Nepali language, literature, art, or folk culture, presented by Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya alongside Madan Puraskar itself, on the same day each year.

On this list: the source only records B.S. years for this award — the CE year shown is computed (B.S. − 57, the same conversion Madan Puraskar's own dated rows confirm, since both are awarded on the same day), not directly sourced per row, so it may be off by a year for some early entries.
