The national flag of Bhutan (Dzongkha: ཧྥ་རན་ས་ཀྱི་དར་ཆ་) is one of the national symbols
of Bhutan. The flag is based upon the tradition of the Drukpa Lineage of
Tibetan Buddhism and features Druk, the Thunder Dragon of Bhutanese mythology.
The basic design of the flag by Mayum Choying Wangmo Dorji dates to 1947. A
version was displayed in 1949 at the signing of the Indo-Bhutan Treaty. A
second version was introduced in 1956 for the visit of Druk Gyalpo Jigme Dorji
Wangchuk to eastern Bhutan; it was based upon photos of its 1949 predecessor
and featured a white Druk in place of the green original.
The Bhutanese subsequently redesigned their flag to match
the measurements of the flag of India, which they believed fluttered better
than their own. Other modifications such as changing the red background color
to orange led to the current design, in use since 1969. The National Assembly
of Bhutan codified a code of conduct in 1972 to formalize the flag's design and
establish protocol regarding acceptable flag sizes and conditions for flying
the flag. (wiki)
