There is one flag in the vast array of national flags which has a very unique shape: a double right triangle perched on top of one another, and seemingly not following the standards of being rectangular in shape. The Nepalese flag is one of the most unique and perhaps one of the most inspiring tales of endurance and sovereignty in the world. The country of Nepal is a tiny landlocked area in the mountainous regions of Asia – the Himalayas.
The history of this proud nation is also a very worthwhile read. During the times when colonization was still part of the old world, the subcontinent of India was home to a lot of independent states. During the expansion of the British influence over the subcontinent, so was the gradual decrease of independent sovereign of these states and soon vanished. Their flags and colors also faded away into obscurity, many of which were nowhere near European standards in terms of design and shape. Finally, all of these states’ flags lost into history when India finally gained its independence as a nation in 1947.
However, the Nepalese flag remained flying as a sovereign nation, with its untraditional by western standard design showing proudly. The flag of crimson with a dark blue border, and a design of a white moon of eight rays and an attached crescent, and also another emblem of white sun with 12 rays. These two symbols of the Nepalese flag are supposed to be part of two dynasties. However, due to the changes imposed on the new constitution of 1962, these two symbols are now omitted, though some civil groups still use this discreetly.
