The national flag of Nepal (Nepali: नेपालको झण्डा)
is the world's only non-quadrilateral flag that acts as both the state flag and
civil flag of a sovereign nation. The flag is a simplified combination of two
single pennons (or pennants), known as a double-pennon. Its crimson red is the color
of the rhododendron, Nepal's national flower, while the blue border is the color
of peace. Until 1962, the flag's emblems, the sun and the crescent moon, had
human faces, but were removed to modernize the flag.
The current flag was adopted on 16 December 1962, along with
the formation of a new constitutional government. It borrows from the original,
traditional design, used throughout the 19th and 20th Centuries, and is a
combination of the two individual pennons used by rival branches of the ruling
dynasty.
