Flag of Nepal

🎨 What the flag means

Nepal's flag is the only national flag in the world that is not a rectangle: it looks like two triangles stacked on top of each other. The crimson red stands for bravery and the rhododendron, Nepal's national flower, and the blue border stands for peace. The white moon and sun show the hope that Nepal will last as long as they do.
