National Flag

 The national flag of Bhutan (Dzongkha: འབྲུག་ཡུལ་རྒྱལ་དར) is one of the national symbols of Bhutan. The flag features a Chinese dragon (druk in Dzongkha, the Bhutanese language) from Bhutanese mythology. This alludes to the Dzongkha name of Bhutan – Druk Yul (འབྲུག་ཡུལ་, 'brug yul, lit. "Dragon Country" or "Dragon Kingdom") – as well as the Drukpa Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, which is the dominant religion of Bhutan.

Flag Design:

The current flag is divided diagonally from the lower hoist-side corner, with the upper triangle yellow and the lower triangle orange. Centred along the dividing line is a large black and white dragon facing away from the hoist side.[1] The dragon is holding a norbu, or jewel, in each of its claws.[1] The background colours of the flag, yellow and orange, are identified as Pantone 116 and 165 respectively.[2] Equivalents of these shades and the white of the Druk are specified by various other codes according to particular matching systems as indicated below.
