Brief History
Nepal was never officially colonised by the British during the time of the British Raj and by 1923 a treaty was signed between Britain and Nepal to keep Nepal an independent state.
In 1928 an national flag was adopted. It was made up of two red pennons joined together with a blue border. The upper has a white crescent moon with a face and the lower has a sun with a face.
In 1962 the border of Nepal was completed and the faces removed from the moon and sun.
Meaning
The blue border symbolizes peace and harmony. The crimson red is Nepal’s national colour, and reflects the brave spirit of the Nepalese people. The two triangles symbolize the Himalayan Mountains. The depiction of celestial bodies represents permanence and the hope that Nepal will last as long as the sun and the moon!
