Nepal Flag And The Flag Company Inc

By Liza Collins


A landlocked country the size of Arkansas, lying between India and the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China, Nepal contains Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. Along with its southern border, Nepal has a strip of level land that is partly forested, partly cultivated.

Nepal's recorded history kicks off with the Hindu Kiratis. Arriving from the east around the 7th or 8th century BC, these Mongoloid people are the first known rulers of the Kathmandu Valley. King Yalambar (the first of their 29 kings) is mentioned in the Mahabharata, the Hindu epic, but little more is known about them.

The form of government practiced in the nation for nearly all of its history is a monarchy reigned by the Shah dynasty. Recently, in the year 2006 because of a decade-long civil war with the Communist party of Nepal and the mass rallies of various political organizations, the monarchy was eradicated ending with its last ruler Gyanendra Shah and a new system of governance was favored. The Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal was inaugurated in 2008 as its first president.

The flag of Nepal consists of a crimson/red base that is outlined in blue. The top triangle of Nepal's flag has a white emblem of the moon and the bottom triangle has a white emblem of the sun.

The color of the flag is crimson red similar to the color of the national flower, the rhododendron. Red also stands for conquest in war. The blue in the borders stands for peace. The upper part has a star and crescent moon combined while at its lower portion is a symbol of the sun.

The present flag, which omits those features, was established under the new constitution of December 16, 1962. The same symbols appear on the dozens of different civil and military flags used by Nepalese officials. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Nepal Flag for the future.
