Indian Army Paschimi Star named campaign medal with maroon and white striped ribbon.
The Paschimi Star is a campaign medal awarded by the Indian Army. It is typically awarded for service in the Western sector of India, often related to border operations or specific military campaigns. The medal’s design features the Lion Capital of Ashoka, the national emblem of India, signifying its origin and the authority under which it was awarded.

The ribbon design, with its maroon and white stripes, is characteristic of many Indian military awards, often symbolizing specific branches of service or operational areas. The fact that it is a “named” medal suggests it was awarded to a specific individual, which can add to its collectibility and historical significance for researchers and collectors.
