The flag of Bhutan is a masterpiece of symbolism and design. Divided diagonally, it features a golden yellow upper half representing the authority of the king, and an orange lower half symbolizing Buddhism, the state’s spiritual heritage.
At the center, a white dragon (Druk) symbolizes purity, strength, and the nation’s nickname, the “Land of the Thunder Dragon.” The dragon’s fierce expression and the jewels it holds represent the protection and prosperity of Bhutan. This flag’s rich symbolism and vibrant colors make it truly stand out.

Below, we look at some of the world's most noteworthy examples.
