# Nepalese Flag

## Visual Elements


Nepalese flag, shaped in 2 connected triangles with red as the base color and 2 white symbols on it.

## Cultural Context

The national flag of Nepal
The Flag of Nepal, adopted in 1962 and formalized in the 2006 constitution, is the world’s only non-rectangular national flag, shaped like two stacked pennants. It features a crimson red background (symbolizing bravery and national flower, rhododendron), with a blue border (representing peace). The flag includes a white crescent moon with eight rays and a twelve-rayed sun, symbolizing hope, peace, and the Himalayan landscape. Its unique shape reflects Nepal’s cultural and historical identity, with roots in ancient traditions and Hindu-Buddhist symbolism. The flag’s design was simplified in 1962 from earlier, more complex versions.

<!-- justification
## Justification

The only non-rectangular national flag in the world -- it is instantly recognizable and impossible to confuse with anything else, making it a perfect identity marker for the Nepal ancestor lineage.
