About Nepal and its flag
Nepal’s national flag is defined by Article 8 of the Constitution of Nepal. It joins two triangular figures instead of using a rectangular field, with a crimson base, a deep-blue border, and white celestial emblems. Schedule 1 supplies the official drawing method and further particulars, making both its outline and symbols constitutional features.
Flag design and meaning
The constitution specifies two juxtaposed triangular figures on crimson, edged in deep blue. The upper figure carries a white crescent with eight visible rays out of sixteen; the lower has a white, twelve-rayed sun. Schedule 1 sets out the construction method and additional technical particulars.
- Crimson field: The Constitution identifies crimson (simrik) as Nepal’s national colour and also requires it as the field of the flag. This is the official national-colour association stated in the constitutional text.
History and adoption
Government guidance calls this two-pennon design Nepal’s traditional flag. In the current constitutional framework, Article 8 states its colours and emblems, while Schedule 1 governs the drawing method and other particulars. This legal presentation records the design without requiring a single, over-simplified adoption date.
How to recognise this flag
- Look for a joined pair of pennant-like triangles rather than a rectangular field.
- Check that a white crescent with eight visible rays is above a white, twelve-rayed sun, both within a deep-blue border.
