Bhutan Flag Speaks!

What does my national flag say?

Bhutan’s national flag is rectangular and divided diagonally into two parts with a white dragon between the two halves.

 

The upper yellow part of the flag signifies the unfaltering secular reign of the successive Kings of the Wangchuck dynasty. Yellow is also the colour of symbolic scarf of the King and the spiritual ruler of Bhutan. The lower orange part signifies the deep-seated and strong religious practice and spiritual power of Vajrayana and Mahayana Buddhism.

The dragon symbolizes the name of the country as we call “Druk”   in Bhutan's national language for dragon. Thus, the people are known as "Drukpas." The white dragon also symbolizes the state of purity and loyalty of Bhutanese citizens to their county.

The dragon facing fearlessly outward with open jaws symbolizes the constant vigilance of the protecting deities and citizens against any impending danger and threat to the country. The jewels held firmly by the dragon symbolize the sustainability of the precious resources including the rich cultural heritage Bhutan.

 I would love to hear about the flags of my international friends of Mahidol University, Thailand.
