The National Flag Rules

The national flag is the symbol of the Kingdom’s independence and sovereignty. It is also the main symbol of honour, and complete victory of the state in all directions. It will be hoisted where the heads of states visit, and during different state celebrations. The details of the system and procedures are as follows.

1. Description of the National flag

1. The yellow half holds the base from the top. It signifies civil tradition, and embodies His Majesty’s being who enhances the limits of his reign. Therefore, it signifies the basis of both monastic and civil traditions.

2. The orange half extends from bottom and forms the fluttering end. It signifies monastic tradition of Buddha’s teachings. Moreover, it signifies that the traditions of Kagyud and Nyingma flourish in harmony.

3. The dragon equally spreads over the borderline. This signifies the name of the Kingdom of Druk, having monastic and civil traditions.

4. The colour of dragon is white. It signifies that although there are many peoples in the kingdom whose conduct of body and speech are not similar, their inner thought and deeds are pure. They highly cherish patriotism, and therefore, the sacred bond between the sovereign and the people are untainted.
