Flag of Bhutan
The national flag of Bhutan is diagonally partitioned into two triangles (from the lowest hoist side corner). The left triangle is in orange color, and the right is in red color. A white colored dragon is positioned (facing opposite to the hoist side) on the diagonal line of the two triangles.
The two colors of the flag represent spiritual and temporal command within Bhutan. The yellow triangle denotes the secular Drukpas monarchy, while the orange triangle signifies the Buddhist religion and its practices. The dragon pictured on the flag, Druk (or Thunder Dragon), indicates Bhutan's local Tibetan name, The Land of the Dragon. The dragon has jewels grasped within its claws representing wealth and the growling mouth indicates the might of the gods and goddesses protecting the country.
The flag is one of the few national flags to feature orange as a major color, and one of only two national flags to picture a dragon, the other being the flag of Wales. The present appearance of the flag was adopted in 1960.
